Our time here is running out and so we decided to pay one
last visit to Jerusalem.
On Friday night we drove to Jerusalem and went to see the
people at the Western Wall welcome the Shabbat. Of course, we could
not take pictures because Shabbat was coming in. But none of us will
forget the excitement of the occasion as we watch the orthodox sing and dance
and welcome the Sabbath Queen.
We then went to the Armenian Tavern for our own dinner.
Suzanne and Benjamin
were a little tired as they waited for the food
but Benjamin perked up once he got a drink.
and Suzanne let us experiment with her picture without
and with
flash.
David's beard
so impressed Jane that she decided to make a bread beard
This didn't make it any easier for Sarah to keep her eyes opened
All of this activity made everyone happy to sleep
or read
into the next morning.
On Sunday, we did an exploration of the new city
starting at the pay phones near Ben Yehuda Street
It was a day of eating
starting with bagels
not to mention the special Lag B'Omer offer.
Next we bought shoes for the girls from this kind man
took a picture of this bus
that got in the way of our picture of the Glat Kosher Sbarro's
Next we were off to the produce market
after which we stopped because Jane and Benjamin were intrigued by
this man playing the old shell game.
Sarah bought sandals at this store
we passed a kosher KFC
and David finally found a gift shop sign he could like
Fortunately, MacDonald's has relaxed their
policy
so we could use their sherutim.
We decided to skip the Masters of Bizarre
and on our way home, we stopped for ice cream
and a family picture
In the evening, we decided to pay one last visit to the
Western Wall
on the way to dinner.
When we got there, we saw a cameraman
and some men with rifles
Jane recorded the days purchases
Sarah's shoes
Jane's shoes and pants
and Suzanne's bracelet
Then David and Benjamin headed to the wall

We took our last pictures on the plaza
and then headed to the Cardo for dinner
They dressed us
for a Roman feast
Then the juggler performed
He threatened to chop a carrot on Sarah's head
Next, the doctor offered to cure us
with red pepper ear rings
for Jane
and a lettuce hat for Suzanne
We posed for one final picture as Caesar's
and then headed home for the night.
On the way out of town, we stopped at the Israel Museum and
the Shrine of the Book
where a sandwich stand had the right message
and we took the obligatory phone booth picture
