I was at a loose end so I decided to do a rampart walk. You can walk around the top of the wall from Jaffa gate to Damascus gate. Well I timed it so I would be done by 3 to miss the march at 4. Today is Jerusalem day and the Palestinians plan to march through the city at 4. The Israeli's are not going to let that happen. So when I get to the gate the Israeli's are dancing and singing and blocking the way through. There is a line of cops between them trying to kee...

The Mount of Olives is where Jesus was betrayed and where he was arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane.

It was a long night last night. I didn't get any sleep but now that I am here I am glad I didn't try to get here at midnite last night cos I would not have found the place. On the directions I have there is a "keep straight on" in them that shouldn't be there. I had to ask the guy in the shop this morning and he didn't know any of the streets in my directions. Luckily there was a young girl buying smokes and she googled it for me. It was no where near where they ...
