Another Picture Diary

Typical street and traffic in Jerusalem

Plastic recycling stations all around the city

Ryan shopping for sweets in upscale bakery.  Notice the Challah bread - must have been Friday before Sabbath.


One alley leading to our apartment.  Construction going on other side of metal wall on right.

Quick peek into an alley

One of our local chicken guys.  Hearts and livers available to far left.

Fruit vendor in Shuk.  See the canteloupe?  They cut open a piece of fruit for people to taste and smell if it is too big to just be able to pop in your mouth like they would a grape.  Price on little chalkboard reads 4NIS/kilo.  Which equates to $1for 2 lbs.  

Western Wall with men on left, women on right.

Mosaic inside Holy Seplechur.  3 scenes - the crucifixion, bringing Christ down, then this one - preparing Him for burial.
Typical public bathroom.  Common area for hand washing with separate toilet areas.  Ryan's thinking, "Really, mom?!"

One of my fav Asian/Veg dishes served on the Dairy side of my fav restaurant, Rimon.


You see Jews dressed in a variety of ways - from a regular kippa to all out suits.

Neighborhood synagogue directly behind our apartment.

Shiloh Street runs from our house towards Shuk - about a 5 minute walk with houses, alleys, shops and synagogues all along the way.
