Next on the tour was to stop by Kever David (David’s Tomb). While this is portrayed just like all the other kevers, with a proper tomb-like shrine and beit kenesset full of praying Jews, from what I understand no one actually thinks that this is the location in which King David is buried. ANYWAY.
So we went to the kever and explored around there, and additionally, the guide book claimed the room of the last supper to be in the building of this same plot, somewhere hidden around and above. So we decided to play crusaders, in the most Monty Python way possible. Eventually we found what may have been the room, and took some funny pictures that may or may not have bordered on respectable (her idea, we sat in the middle of the room and pretended to eat imaginary food).
Next on the agenda was a break at a coffee shop downtown to revive on lattes. Although it was a Sunday, we all rallied for another night out with Nechemia, Irina, Laneia, Hayley, myself, and of course Chelsea, and spent in the most ironic way, at the cheesiest tourist bar in town, where we all continued to fail to be able to blow smoke rings (though not for lack of trying)
Monday morning, before her sherut was to come, Chelsea and I set off early for the shuk so she could buy some things to take home, such as halva and dates, and to get a final falafel sandwich, getting us back to Mayanot just in time to say goodbye.
