It's early morning here in Jerusalem, but the bustle and street noise are pouring through our hostel windows on Jaffa Road. We got here on the Friday in time to go to the Wailing Wall to see the thousands of people lining up for Sabbath prayers. It was quite a sight with all the ultra-orthodox in their black suits and strange headgear. We met an American couple that evening at the Armenian Tavern, and ended up having dinner with them. Interesting folks. He works in Gaza for the UN, and commutes every weekend to their apartment in Jerusalem.
The next day we took a walking tour of the Old City, and then yesterday went to Holocaust Museum Yad Vashem. So now that we've had a couple of days of immersion in Jerusalem, we're off to the Palestinian city of Hebron. It will be an interesting contrast, I'm sure.
