Blessed are the curious

It has been said, "Blessed are the curious for they shall have adventure."  Thursday was a free day for the Tripsters and adventures were had.  A large group went to the Garden Tomb, the more garden like setting that feels like the right place for Jesus' burial, even if archaeologists know it is not.  The group was thrilled to be a part of a worship service.   For the curious-all of us-Jerusalem was explored during the day.  Everything from every conceivable type of shop in the markets to the EXPO Marathon being run today, was discovered.  Around every corner a new surprise. Here are a few...
