Old City Jerusalem










7/26/2017 Old City Jerusalem
Inside is the site of the tomb of Jesus.
Shelter within a shelter
Spent all day inside the Old City in Jerusalem. Walked from where we were staying to the Old City. It was a 20 minute walk. We used the GPS as our guide to where we're going. Entered the Jaffa Gate and explored the area. Walked through the Via Dolorosa on the way to the Holy Sepulcher. Trying to beat the Tourist group 'coz it gets so crowded inside the Holy Sepulcher.
Just got inside the Old City
