Jerusalem

People workin', walkin', Israeli soldiers watchin'. as they do.













Inside Damascus gate.



















Israeli food at the outdoor market.













Spice seller in the busy Muslim souq.



















The Western Wailing Wall. Found out it got it's name when Jews would arrive here during Ottoman rule and bemoan the destruction of Solomon's Temple, which this wall was part of.













Video games in the Muslim souq.













Graffiti in Jerusalem.













Kids playing American football.













Desserts, damn.













The man on the left was crazy, and hopped and hobbled around, talking to himself, before resting on that railing. Soldiers on the right.













Coffee cart in the souq.













God help us. Any God, doesn't matter.













Paradise City, where there is no grass, and the girls are covered up, so I don't know if they're pretty. Yes, Guns n' Roses reference about Jerusalem. Wait, guns and roses is a good one too.













Falafel Man to the rescue.



















Dome of the Rock.













Wall, Dome.













Christian pilgrims carrying a cross down the alleys of Jerusalem and the stations, following Jesus.













Muslim woman, Christian man.



















Non-denominational breakfast pastry- maybe Unitarian. Cheese on inside, sugary sauce on top, pistachios. What? Yes.













Huge sesame type bagel is popular in the morning.













Arafat and......I have to figure that out, forgot. Very revered by Palestinians.













It seems the devout be poppin' out babies. Think they are, to populate the promised land.













Jerusalem old city during Sabbath.



















Muslim cemetery on the east side of the wall.













Muslim cemetery, Jewish cemetery.














Muslim cemetery, Jewish cemetery, Christian churches below the Mt. of Olives.
