Next, we went to the Bet Gamal Monastery. This monastery was the first Christian monastery in the area after the Ottoman Empire. It was built on the site of a Fifth century Byzantine church. So, they built a replica of the church there. It was pretty cool. Here is a picture of it. Check out the ceiling. The monastery was supposed to close at 4:30. We got there at 5, and there was really no sign of them closing. It really is just a bunch of old guys hanging out. I liked it.
We ended the day at Abu Ghosh, an Arab village famous for its homous. It was a good day.

Jon,
The photo of the "old guys hanging out" is really neat. It could be anywhere that old guys hang out; KY, Centeral PA, Spain or Israel. For a photo effect try to borrow someone's polorizing sunglasses and put the NON prescription lens in front of your camera lens. It should really thrown the sky blue and make a difference in the trees and highlights as well. OK, this proves that I have a problem with needing to tweek photos. The polorizer is the ONLY filter that cannot be duplicated in PhotoShop.
Your photo fiend Mom
