On Wednesday we started out by walking to what is a likely location for the Upper Room where Jesus had the Passover with his apostles. After that we walked down to Gethsemane. From there our bus picked us up and took us to the Garden Tomb. It cannot be the actual burial site because the grave is from the wrong era, but it is a much nicer place than the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, although that tomb is from the right time frame.
Then we started out for the Dead Sea but only got as far as En Gedi, where we had lunch. We could not get down to the Dead Sea because there were sinkholes in the road and they had it closed off. After lunch we went to Massada and dropped off some of the group. Five of us did not want to walk down the siege ramp as the others did so we drove around the mountain to pick them up on the other side. It took more than an hour to get to the other side and it was a twisty, winding road.
