Jerusalem-May 24


View of Modern day Silwan, ancient site of David's Palace. 
Mt. of Olives is behind him and the temple before. 

Shofars for sale!
Nuns under the Ecce Homo arch on the Via Dolorosa

Another picture of Silwan. One of the few Arab neighborhoods in Jerusalem





The Lion Gate in Jerusalem




Notice the Crescent and the Menorah near the bottom right


You too can look this sexy if you cover yourself in Dead Sea Mud. 



Dome of the Rock

Western Wall



Line for the Western Wall

After Hezekiah's tunnel these big guys got tiny smoothies from the concession.
