Old City-Butcher Shops



 Goats head anyone??

 Entrails?

 How about a throat and lungs?


Oh yummy, tongue!




 Finally back to fun shopping...

Any Robin Hood fans?  This is the remains of a very old Nights Crusader's church found in the Jewish Quarter of Old Town.



This is a temporary dwelling built for Sukkot.  The Jewish holiday to remember those who wandered in the wilderness for 40 years.  It is a fun and festive week of celebration.  For more detail and info visit huntsmansintheholyland.blogspot.com

 For the bakers. . .
 Here are some more temporary dwellings built to celebrate Sukkot.
  
This is a section of the city wall that is being excavated.
 This wall dates back to the time of Lehi leaving Jerusalem.  It would have been somewhere along this wall that Nephi would have snuck in and out of the city.
 At the bottom of this measuring stick would have been street level and they believe the wall was the height of the stick.
  We stopped at the YMCA, it is a hotel and has a pool you can swim in for 70 sheckles a piece, ouch!

 Driving home I tried to get a snap shot of this Jew.  John is thinking of getting one of these styling hats!

  2. I was enthralled with your comments on the symbolism of the Olive Tree...I think the tree of life in Lehi's Vision was an Olive Tree. What think ye?
    Lovely, lovely posts, Jennifer. I am so glad you invited me to view them. Thanks, Elaine Kemp

    PS did you get the news that Marian Bradbury passed away a couple of weeks ago...the day after her birthday. Also, Grace and Marvin Smith were called on a mission again to Athens Greece mission to the island of Cyprus. It is so exciting to think they will walk where Paul walked.
