Arrival in Israel

We arrived in Jerusalem after a taxi ride from the Tel Aviv airport. Quite a temperature change from London! Jerusalem truly is a city on a hill. It’s Sabbath, so we were able to take a walk from our hostel to the Old City, sometimes in the middle of the street because no buses or trolleys were running and the stores were all closed. It was the highlight of my day and many families were out. The Old City, however, was bustling with people and shopping at the markets. At dusk, we joined others praying at  the Western Wall.
