Old City and David’s Tower Museum

Some slept in today and did not go to services, but we all met up at 12:30 this afternoon for a walk to the Old City of Jerusalem (the walled city), and a visit to the David’s Citadel Museum of the history of Jerusalem. From high atop the museum built into the Old City walls, we could see the quarters of the walled city (Christian, Muslim, Armenian, and Jewish), and get a sense of the enormity of the city, even though it does not encompass that much land. The Old City displayed its beauty for all to see, with its variegated colored rooftops, open air markets, satellite dishes (more viewers than cable), and the ever-present gold cupola of the Dome of the Rock.
