Jerusalem

One of the highlights of the trip was a visit to Jerusalem. It was a full day. Here are some photos of the place. By the way, tomorrow is the 40th anniversary of the 6-Day War. It was an incredible victory for Israel. Some interesting reading is at Wikipedia.com if you search the Six Day War.

The city is a mix of old and new. You can see a building with gothic features across the street from an apartment with a Blockbuster video on the ground floor.


Below is the Jaffa Gate. The Old City of Jerusalem is surrounded by a very old wall. Since then, the city has grown to be very large. The Jaffa Gate is one entrance point to the old city.
