Inside the Old City Walls






Today's blog will be shorter as I am actually a day behind.  Yesterday we had (yet another) amazing day exploring Jerusalem.  We took a really cool tour of the Western Wall that actually runs UNDER the Muslim Quarter.  Our tour guide was very informative and we learned a lot about the Western Wall and why this area is so important to the Jews.  Mike & Dan both volunteered to help the tour guide demonstrate the HUGE blocks of rock that were used to create the Western Wall.  

We spent a lot of time exploring the Jewish Quarter - which was very cool.  We had a pizza on cardboard lunch and then went to the steps where Jesus most likely taught.  

For dinner we went to an area called "Downtown Jerusalem" (according to our friendly front door security guy at the hotel).  We ate at a restaurant called Adom.  We ate in an outdoor little courtyard and enjoyed the cool breeze!
