The caroline bells and shopping at the Jewish Market

Yesterday Chelsie, Marianne,Krista, Celeste and I went with Brother Squires over to the Caroline Bells in the YMCA Bell tower. Brother Squires plays the organ here in the Center. Him and his wife take 6 people every sounday to go ring the bells. Me and Chelsie played Ode to Joy. I played the top hand and she played the bottom hand.

The bells are hooked to a thing that looks like and is set up like a piano. We each practiced on the fake piano and then we rang them for real.

Here is a look at the bells that we got to ring!

Here i am standing by the bells looking out of the bell tower.


Here we are all in front of the bells. We each got to play a song and then we all did the chime for the 12 o'clock hour. It was Awesome! We played for about 70,000 people that live in West Jerusalem. It was so much fun!!!

After we went to ring the bells we went and walked around West Jerusalem and saw some things then we went to the Jewish Market or what is called the Suk. It was so much fun. These are just some of the things that are ther. There are tons of fresh and dried fruit stands. There is also all different kinds of nuts. i bought these delicous what we call love nuts. They say they are just peanuts but they have this coating on them and they are so much better than peanuts. I also bought a ton of dried bananas. YUM!!! Below are some pictures that you probably won't see in the US to much.:) look at all those kippas!!:) the other picture is a shop full of spices. Even those reddish tree looking things on the counter are spices. i want to go back here on Friday because thats when its packed full of Jews getting ready for Shabot. :)
