Ein Karem is just outside of Jerusalem - though it takes a while to get there in traffic - Mary probably didn't have much traffic as she traveled there on foot to visit her cousin, Elizabeth. Our first priority was the celebration of the Eucharist since they close at 5pm and we were arriving at 4:30. We celebrated our final Mass together quite quickly (25 min) but did not leave out the singing - which we were getting quite good at! After Mass we visited the cave of the Nativity of John the Baptist and looked out over the valley to view the Church of the Annunciation - perhaps we'll get to visit it on our next pilgrimage.
