The light at the end

  We only had 2 cases today, so we were out of the hospital by 3pm.  We actually got to see some of the city including Jacob's well.  There is a beautiful church and an old well in the basement where Jesus told Jacob or some one to do something that involved the water in the well.  I was busy looking at the mosaics on the floor and the paintings on the walls and like at the check point at the Erez crossing to Gaza, taking pictures when I wasn't supposed to.
  It is a pretty place.
  We also went to Joseph's grave.....Joseph who? I don't know.  But there wasn't much to it, and you still can't take pictures.  Apparently the Jewish settlers here are very passionate about Joseph and go there nightly and cause a ruckus.
  Then, always in search of the perfect latte, we went to a rather western coffee shop and had coffee and fruit shakes.  I recommend the fruit shakes.  More shopping in the old city as the stores close and now it's dinner time.

Mosaics at Jacobs well.....
