Old Jerusalem

One of the gates into the Old City.
The man at the far left in back is Al. The woman in the bright red socks is NOT me.


Inside the gate.


A street corner in the old city. Christian Quarter Road.


America don't worry...


An underground room hundreds of years old.


Looking down the street. I saw dozens of tapestries and scarves and skirts I wanted but didn't buy.


Mysterious streets (I'd call them alleys) and curving stairs.

Where's Waldo?

On the roof, of course. What's he doing up there, anyway?

Gazing off into the hills,


counting towers,


polishing domes,


Or maybe he's repairing the solar panels.

Tower of David

This is a fascinating place. It was a cold, cloudy day, so the pictures aren't the greatest, but you get the idea.
Courtyard

Rooms and foundations.

View of the tower itself from another place in the tower.

The mosque. The church in the background is actually huge.

The courtyard and looking over the top of the wall.

Looking out.




Jeshurun.


Soldiers.


Figures in a museum.
