After we wore ourselves out climbing mountains, Jake and I spent the morning visiting a monastery at the foot of Mt. Sinai. No great stories or magnificent descriptions, just pictures. Consider this a reader's day off.
Bell tower and adjacent domed tower:
Adornment on the entryway of the chapel:
Detail of the wooden doorway leading into the chapel:
Old water pump on the grounds:
Pictograph of Moses and the Israelites at Sinai:
Local worshipers in an outdoor corridor:
Wood and stucco living quarters attached to the brick-fortified outer wall.
There you have it. Sinai, without the long bus ride.

Wonderful photos, thanks!
So are you going to Bethlehem to take pictures to post on Christmas? It's the least you can do, on the globe it's just right next to you.
What a fun thing for you two to be able to do! It also looks kind of like what I would picture it to look like....sort of!
Kevvy-you're such a good little documenter!!!! I think it is SO neat that you got to climb Mt. Sinai! Love the pictures, love the stories, love the family! Miss you guys!
But the long bus ride is the best part!
