Pictures from Jerusalem

This is the obligatory Kotel picture from the old city of Jerusalem. No, I have no idea who any of those people are. They were just in the way.


This is the entrance to the Cardo, an old Roman street in the old city of Jerusalem. When Jerusalem was liberated in 1967, it was apparently well underground. After lots of digging, it's once again a street.


A little way down the street, there's a menorah in a glass case. I'm not sure why it's there. Maybe it's good feng shui for ancient Roman streets.



There are lots of little shops along the Cardo, which we were unable to stop and look at. The street has been covered, although it was open during Roman times. Today, there are living quarters above it.



The obligatory old city picture with the Dome of the Rock in the background.
