Some pictures from the compound used by Yasser Arafat in Ramallah in Palestine during the Second Intifada. I remember hearing about this at the time, but based on the news at the time, I assumed he was stuck in some sort of hell hole the whole time. But it was actually surprisingly nice on the […]
Some snaps from my trip to Bethlehem with Brianna.
Brianna and I visited the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem.
On advice from my old colleague and friend Josh, Brianna and I went to Bahai Garden in Haifa whilst in Israel.
Brianna and I visited the Garden of Gesthemane in Jerusalem.

I visited the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. It is built on the site where Jesus Christ was supposedly buried.

It was built around 200 BCE, but has been successively replaced/built on over the years. The following are more parallel 3D images. To view the 3D photos, […]
When I found out I was going to Jerusalem I emailed my online friend Miriam Schwab for advice about what to do and see in the area (Miriam lives in Jerusalem). She gave us heaps of advice and invited us to join her family for a traditional Jewish dinner during the Shabatt (Jewish sabbath). Miriam […]
