But we will start at the beginning. Walking back to the old city we were discussing the actual age of the rocks we were looking at and how the walls of the Old City had withstood everything that mankind could throw at it and it keeps on standing. It really is an amazing place when I come back in warmer weather I would love to spend a whole day there if not more just looking around and taking a tour or two.
On the left you can see the bullet marks that were left in 1968 when the Israeli's retook the city. We walked into Zion Gate . with our bagels in hand and then we went for a cup of tea 
and to wait for Daniel to catch up with us. So we had Nana at the 
Menorah Cafe (something I would love to do again) and from there we went shopping. Now I know that it does not seem like a big deal to go shopping in Israel (lord knows we did quite a bit of it) but Sam and Daniel took us into the Cardo and before we knew it we were in the Arab Shook and Daniel was having
the time of his life bartering with the shop keepers and Barry had a new drum, we had some new t-shirts, little boxes sweatshirts, pashtook and other stuff...

we walked back to the hotel put our goodies away and got ready for our next adventure.
