Jerusalem The world is my school today my classroom is in Jerusalem! We were walking in to the Jaffa gate to go see Jesus' crucifixion site, I felt a little bit sad, but also excited, but at the same time I was scared.

We got out the map and went to see the stone that Jesus' cross was put into. The city was really cool but w...

We even saw a small overloaded donkey trip on the sta...
