Excitement on the Mount of Olives

So we hopped on a plane and flew across the world to sleep on the Mount of Olives. We actually had a room in a hotel on the Mount. We were possibly at the same spot where Jesus ascended to heaven. How awesome is that? We had a beautiful view right over the Garden of Gethsemane and into the old city of Jerusalem. We arrived at our hotel very close to sundown on Friday so we were privileged to hear the sabbath being ushered in. We walked up our street and crossed over. We found ourselves looking into what we later realized was probably part of Gethsemane. Past that were tombstones and then the wall of Old Jerusalem. We had a perfect view of the Golden Gate.
