Crist prays at the Western Wall

MAY 30, 2007

On a tour of historic and religious sites in Jerusalem Wednesday, Gov. Charlie Crist took part in a Holy Land tradition: slipping a piece of paper into the wall, bearing a handwritten prayer. He asked God to protect Floridians from "storms and other difficulties." It is, after all, two days before the start of the 2007 hurricane season. He stood at the wall with U.S. Rep. Robert Wexler.
