Into Jerusalem

We made our way into Jerusalem today. We took a bus from Tzuba into the city, and from there we were to have taken another city bus to the Old City. Unfortunately, however, the bus drivers apparently thought we looked shady and didn't stop for us. Actually, they didn't stop for anyone, for some unknown reason. Someone (a resident of Jerusalem) said, "Things are different here."

So, we ended up walking about 5k to the Jaffa gate, where we met up with some friends Cami and I met the last time we were here in 1996. We had lunch together and then we explored the Old City a bit. Mostly this was just a reconnaissance mission for the next time we venture into the city.

Here are pictures of the Jaffa gate and a view of the wall of the Old City (click to enlarge).
