Oct. 8 - Shawn

... On Monday we went to the Shephelah. We went to where David slew Goliath and slung stones from slings. We saw some cool chalk quarries. We went to Lachish and saw the siege ramp the Assyrian built in order to destroy take it over which they did. The Assyrians weren't too nice to their enemies. Today I went out with my Siblings. We went to tomb in a guys backyard and then went to the small Mosque close to the Jerusalem center. The Imam, or guy in charge of the Mosque was super nice and helpful. We watched them do their prayers. He talked about Islam. Here in the Jerusalem center we live in a secluded American bubble, so it was nice to get out and see what people do across the street.
