On October 24, 2007 we went to the City of David and Hezekiah's Tunnel. The biblical City of David situated on the southern slope of Mount Moria outside today's Old City wall. Underneath the city of David is Hezekiah's Tunnel. It was built by Hezekiah in 701 BC. It was designed to get water into the city of Jerusalem as the city was preparing for war with the Assyrians. The tunnel was so much fun! There were points where the water was up to our knees. We had a couple water fights in the tunnel, which was really fun! At one point in the tunnel we all turned off our flashlights and sang "I Am A Child of God" and "Lead kindly Light". It was a really neat experience. As we got outside the tunnel there was a huge pool of water. We got into another water fight and had a lot of fun! It was a great day!
