It is Sunday afternoon. We are in a shop getting the last souvenirs, and the owners are letting me write something. Most people are feeling better. We spent yesterday at Mount Zion, and had Mass at the Cenacle, in a small chapel near there (last supper room). We also visited the house of Caiaphas where Jesus was held the night before his crucifixion. We also got to Bethlehem again, and saw the grotto --- a very long line.
Today we did the via dolorosa, the way of the cross, visited St. Ann's church, the pool of Bethesda, (John 5) and the Western Wall (wailing wall). We visited Calvary and the tomb of Christ this morning as well -- all in the church of the Holy Sepulchure. We will go to Bethany for Mass, we think, or to Ein Karem, home of John the Baptist.
\have to go. Most of us fly out tonight. Seven of us, including me, leave tomorrow morning.
