Took a short nap and then off to the old city. Jerusalem is full of people, interesting smells, beautiful sights and lights illuminating every building. Walked to the Western Wall and of course stayed on the women’s side. After you approach the wall for prayer and /or reflection, you walk backwards to show respect. Had our first middle eastern dinner plate-falafel, humus, tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, coleslaw and pickles . It was yummy! Our tour guide, Itai, will meet us in the hotel lobby so our adventure begins.
All I can say is “WOW.” Itai picked us up after a delicious breakfast and took us all around the Old City-Muslim Christian and Jewish Quarter. We also did a tour of the Western Wall and tunnels. Would you believe a Toronto family gave a donation to build a small chapel next to the tunnels? Our tour guide, Leah, went there for Erev Yom Kippur service. Jerusalem is simply amazing!!!!!
