A day ruled by our stomachs...no regrets

So uncase you haven't caught on, Sundays here are our free days. The day was beautiful so we decided to make the most of it, naturally. We started the morning right by hitting up the Jewish Quarter of the Old City and got bagels (not to be stereotypical at all but they were soooooo good) clever name too right?


Then we explored this part of the city for a little till we found a place that sold donuts. Now some background on the donuts. We had all heard epic rumors about how great these things were and great news, they lived up to our expectations (if you can't tell by these pictures)

Then, with the intentions of attending a service at the church of all nations (outside the garden of Gethsemane) we headed up there. Sadly, the schedule we looked at was wrong and there was no service. However, it all became worth the trip when we were let inside the gated garden by a friar. (Shout out to Davis for talking to anybody and everybody and charming his way into us getting leaves from the olive trees inside the garden) Totally worth the trip.
Then, we walked up to an overlook past the cemeteries and ate lunch and had somewhat of a photo shoot...other pictures to come


no short people :(
Jewish pizza so good!

Then we hit up the old city and visited our favorite merchants, made a few purchases and contemplated other ones. We ended the night celebrating Kylie's bday eating pizza and ice cream in west jeru. Overall it was a great day and a great night and we were all beyond exhausted to say the least.
