From my journal: City of Gold. We made the ascent from the lowest spot on earth - the Dead Sea - to the highest spiritual place on earth...Jerusalem. We slimbed up the eastern side of the Mt. of Olices, went through a tunnel and - BOOM - there it was, under a sliver of a crescent moon, glistening in the twighlight.

Our hotel was within walking distance of the walls of the old city. We were stationed on the corner of Ramban Street and King George Street. Just up the road was the Great Synagogue, that we attended on Shabbat. Ben Yehuda was also within walking distance of our hotel, and let me tell you, the Wall and Ben Yehuda were two places that we frequented. We found this great dress shop hidden in a corner on Ben Yehuda Street and came back with a closet full of new clothes. 😊

Our hotel was on the corner or Ramban and King George, two miles from the Western wall, which we walked to at least once a day.
