Jerusalum!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm In Jerusalum!!!!
Hi everyone who reads my blog!
we are staying an apartment flat and it is amazing!!!!
Yesterday, we started off by coming to our flat!!! I'll give u guys a few pics of it.
maybe... I'm not really sure I can
Anyway, we got there, settleed down, ate some food my dad bought, and set out walking. We went to the new part and saw all these cool shops, then went to the wailing wall.
the wailing wall is something reallllyyyy serious. So, this first temple in Israel was built, right? And it's like more holy than ever. Then, Arabs (Or was it romans...???)knocked it down. Then, we built a second one. And they knocked it down. Then, later, we dug a piece our of the mountain and made a long wall protecting this bigger temple. Then, they knocked it down again and knocked out the temple, and built their own dome on top of it all. The only piece of wall left was this tiny section of the western was, now called the motel or the wailing wall. But pieces of the wall remain underground. So we took a tour of the tunnels, and saw thousnand year old wall. The tunnel went way into the mountain, where the MACKABEES, the people who we celebrate chanukah for, dug a tunnel. I'll tell u more later.
