on wednesday afternoon we finally made up our appointment to walk through hezekiah's tunnel which is part of the intricate water system used in old testament times when the city was under siege and to get water to the western ridge. we weren't able to go earlier due to our random hail/rain storm.
once we arrived at the old city of david, we made our way into warren's shaft. it was here that dr. carl announced to us that he wouldn't be going in with us and we needed to elect a leader. well, he basically did it for us. throughout the trip he has been borrowing jenni's flashlight because he didn't have his and hers is by far the most powerful of the group. thus, jenni became "flashlight jenni" and our leader.

walking through the tunnel was very interesting. i was thankful to be in the front and not in the middle of 40 people with only inches on either side of me and above my head as water rushes across my feet. i also think the walk might be a little more intimidating if made with a lighter like one person we met. without jenni's 9-bulb LED light, we would have been in extreme darkness.
