It's been an interesting day in Jerusalem. During the morning there were police and military, including mounted police, everywhere blocking off the entrances to the Old City of Jerusalem to prevent Muslim men below the age of 50 from reaching the Al-Aksa Mosque/Dome of the Rock to pray (The area is also know as the Temple Mount). We had been doing a tour of East Jerusalem and had to get off the bus to walk back to the hotel because the streets were blocked. The police and the military almost did not let us get back to our hotel. It reminds me of that Chinese curse "May you live in interesting times." We have certainly been living in interesting times during our time here.
