When I first saw this week's picture I thought, "Wow, they rebuilt the Temple and didn't tell anyone." It's on a hill and looks temple like, doesn't it?
Actually, this is a picture of the Regency Hotel in Jerusalem. It used to owned by the Hyatt company apparently. The building is terraced on the slopes of Mount Scopus. I'd like to visit the spa...they use crystals from the Dead Sea, rich black mud, and aromatic oils and minerals favored by the legendary Cleopatra herself.
Looks kind of Biblical, huh? Check out the comments for an explanation.

It does look very "temple-ish." Spas sound nice!
