This is the oldest part of the wall around the Old City. The larger blocks of stone at the lower left hand corner are the only original portion of the wall built by King Herod, the smaller blocks were placed by Suleman the Great about 400 AD.
Greetings from the Holy City Jerusalem! I am so thankful for Scott Schweitzer loaning his usb cable to me so that I could finally upload my pictures!
It has been an amazing journey thus far.......we arrived in Jerusalem on Tuesday, February 1st. Our first day went as follows:
Stop #1 was the Mount of Olives which is located east of Jerusalem across the Kidron Valley. It is higher than the Old City and offers the most incredible views of it! It is also the location of the oldest and largest Jewish cemetery.
