Well, as you read earlier we were planning on entering the old city through the jaffa
gate. We didn't get there as early as we planned and we didn't drive because of my
emercency manicure. So yes, the bulldozer attack was very near us, we could hear the
sirens from our room and we saw it on Israeli, TV. We enetered through the Damascus
gate and had a very interesting day in the old city of Jerusalem. Basically, we shopped our way to the Western Wall. okay, and ate a few things along the route including, falafel, turkish paste and diet coke.
Seeing and praying at the Western Wall has to be the ultimate jewish trip. it was\very moving. There were soldiers everywhere today. In groups, by themselves and you do go through a security checkpoint before entering the area of the Western Wall.
I made Kaddish for Dad and a prayer for peace.
Tonight I am trying to get Marylin and Sarah up and go for drinks at the king David
hotel. Oh excuse please all uncap letters etc.. Tomorrow we are going to return to the old city and see the dome of the rock, jewish and armenian sections and who knows
what. i will proably not be able to post fotos till jordan.. this computer is wack
and swallows shekels..
