What do you do when you're in a place like this?? SMILE, even though you're thinking about how someone (John) who was dear to Someone (Jesus) who is dear to you, was held prisoner and later executed here?? Oh well. When we were in Gethsemane, however, I couldn't bring myself to smile. Too sad.

By the way, does anyone else see two other "people," besides the ones in red and blue shirts, in this pic? heh

Yes, we see the extra people!

But the one on the right can't be a Peckham b/c the nose is too flat and the forehead too high. :)
