    Got as close as we could get

    Started our day early with a 7:30a.m. pickup by our guide. The Courtyard of the Dome of the Rock was a big event of our day and the line starts early!

    Dead tired is also an option.

    Goodness gracious morning seems like a long time ago, I suppose probably because it was.
