The pope has now concluded his visit to the Holy Land. My own trip was moved earlier to avoid having places be closed in preeparation for his visit. Apart from the \u201cupper room,\u201d traditional site of the last supper, which is over the traditional site of the tomb of David, we did not experience any closures.<\/p>\n
