The Old City

Here is just a little bit of what I see on a pretty regular basis in the Old City.

The Dome of the Rock/ The Temple Mt.
I don't go up on the temple Mt. too often but the dome of the rock is a pretty regular sight here in Jerusalem.

Via Dolorosa-the stages of the Cross.  This happens every Friday at four.  They walk through all the stages of the cross and explain what happened at every station.

A lady carrying tons of stuff on her head.  This is really common.  Its crazy that they don't drop them especially when there are always so many people in the streets (or at least on this street) normally.


At Shabans.  He fed us all hummus.  He really does love the Mormons :)


Me and some of my friends.  Nassir is on the left - he is a shop keeper who sells us scarves for really good prices.  Awkman (I don't know how to spell his name) is on the right - he tried to get us to buy something from him, we didn't buy anything but we gave him a cool Canada tatoo so we became friends.


This is where we get really good shwarma.  It's right inside damascus gate. If you are ever in Jerusalem this is a good place to try it

The Western Wall.  This was taken during Shavuot so a lot of them wear white to show their striving for purity.

Some of the streets of Jerusalem.  Top left taken in Muslim quarter.  Top right taken in Jewish quarter. Bottom taken right outside Shabbans shop - pretty sure its in the Muslim quarter.
