Thursday was our Free day. We walked several miles into the Old City to shop. I will say, we successfully contributed to the economy of Israel!
We also went on a tour of the older City of David. This part of the old city is currently being excavated. It is 10x the size it was 5 years ago. We even went down into the old sewer. In places it was very narrow and reminded me of Petra. We also climbed the Southern Stairs as we recited the Psalms of Assent. We had lunch in the Old City and I tried my first Shwarma. Lamb meat and all the salad fixins in a pita pocket. Yum! I will have to do that again!
We walked home past the King David hotel and the Jerusalem YMCA.
It was a great day in the old city!!!
