While visiting the Old City during free time with the students, we were able to get up on the Temple Mount which is not always open to visitors. They opened it between 12:30 and 1:30pm and we were gratful to get in. It was a beautiful day and we ran into Derek and Daniel, who were there with other students. The Dome of the Rock is the oldest Moslem monument in existence today. Since the last intifada in 2000 they have allowed only Moselms into the mosques, but we still had a nice visit and enjoyed the spirit of the Moslem holy mount of sanctuary. We noticed that they refer to the Dome of the Mosque as THE Mosque, even though there are many other mosques in the city.
