Hello everyone. This is our free day and we have enjoyed a leisurely walk along the top of the walls of the old city of Jerusalem. This is an amazing city and there are new sights and smells everyday. We are staying in the old city of Jerusalem in a convent. We can't upload pictures from this internet cafe, sorry. We were in the Jewish section where the orthodox Jews live and Carla felt like breaking out into the song "Tradition." Yesterday we were at a museum where they have some copies of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The food is different, but good. We just had an ice cream on Ben Jehuda street, which is a walking mall. Across the street from us is a McDonalds. If Bev is reading this, Carla has some great pictures of St. Jerome, Hadrian's roads and Byzantine architecture and mosaics.
