We found a beautiful olive garden near the top of the Mt. of Olives on Monday. We really like this photo of the 3 Jared's.
We have had a lot of rain. It seems like it rains almost every other day. The pond in the walkway makes a very nice photo.
The garden is owned by the French as a gift to Pope John IV. It was rather secluded and only one other small family was there, so we had the place to ourselves for a half an hour.
I can picture Jesus liking this garden. It was very peaceful and undisturbed.... hard to find amid the bustle and tourist traps of Jerusalem. It was a hard and steep walk to get here, but well worth the trip. We were amazed that Jesus and his disciples walked up and down this hill so many times back and forth between Jerusalem and Bethany. It is STEEP!
Here are some Israeli mounted police. Some places are much easier to get to by horse, donkey or camel
One more view of the gardens.
