Hi All,  I'm having a bunch of trouble with my internet connection, so I'll make this posting short and sweet until I get this sorted out!

Here is a picture I took from our terrace...We can see the Tower of David, which is just inside the Jaffa Gate and the wall of the Old City very well.  It's about a 10 minute walk to the Gate.

We arrived on Saturday morning after a long flight from Newark.  Saturday was a blur.  Yesterday, we went to the Old City and walked and walked and walked.  I got a few good photos which I'll try to post now...if it doesn't work this time, I'll get them in soon!

The Wailing Wall

 

Even in the Old City you can be in touch with WIFI!!

The Old City is a fascinating place.  Each quarter is different from the other, you hear different languages, the dress is different, the shops display different items.  We visited a ceramic shop that Denny frequented on his last trip out here 8 years ago and I found a great spice shop to buy all my fresh spices.  Then there was the quiet cafe near the Jaffa Gate for a "cafe ohleh" and some babaganoush.  MMMMM.

Today is sunny and breezy...going out for a walk after lunch. Need to explore the neighborhood.
