We just arrived in Jerusalem!!! Not sure why, but it got extremely hazy around noon and worse as we approached Jerusalem, so we haven’t really seen much. But I can definitely report that our room looks out at the wailing wall only 30 feet away. Well, I should more accurately say a wailing wall. There’s a wall across from our window that blocks most of our view… (And is making us sad as a result…)
(BTW, if the last few minutes is any indication, the internet here is very slow. So there’s a chance I may not be posting lots of pics – or may have to go low res.)
We’ll probably go sightseeing here in a bit toward the Old City. The Google says that we’re about 500m (1/3 mile) from the Jaffa Gate and twice that from the real Western Wall. I think we can cause an internationally televised incident and still be back to the hotel in time for dinner.
Our tour starts here at the hotel in the morning. Can’t wait!!!
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
