The Old City (Jerusalem) - Via Dolorosa, Wailing Wall, Pools of Bethesda

Friday, February 4, 2011.
Moving to new place for one day. Returning car as there is no car return on the Sabbath. Raining! Raining again. Cold. Entered into the old city at the Jaffa Gate. Wow. Not what I was expecting. Maze of shops, small narrow pebble streets.  Bringing the stroller was a bad idea. Spent the day searching for sites and ending up at the western wall after dinner in the outdoor mall preceding the Jaffa gate. Enjoyed father Michel Lavoie at the pools of Bethesda. Tomb of the Holy Sepulcher was a dark horrible place. Eww. Loved the Western wall and seeing all those observing the Sabbath, especially the soldiers singing and dancing in a circle.
