Thanksgiving Day in Jerusalem

We were off on Thanksgiving and could have prepared the feast that our daughter prepared in Houston... but chose to trek across Jerusalem instead. Our dinner consisted of soup, for lunch, at the Cafe at Christ Church and a falafel for supper.

In the morning we set off to walk the wall again. This time we went up at Jaffa Gate at David's Citadel and headed south toward Mount Zion, around the South West corner, over Zion Gate and descended off the wall just before the Dung Gate. We doubled back to the Zion Gate and exited the old city to Mount Zion and the church of the Gallicantu where Peter heard the rooster crow after denying Christ. The church is built over the site of where Jesus was held as prisoner (traditionally), near the home of Caiaphas the High Priest, the night He was betrayed.

We went back into the city at the Zion Gate and walked through the city to the Jaffa Gate for lunch and back to the Garden. In the afternoon, we went back to the Western Wall and decended into the tunnel that leads along the foundation stones of Herod's Temple Mount platform.

Later in the evening we went back out and attended a light and sound show at David's Citadel. The history of Jerusalem was projected on the walls of the Citadel and was quite impressive.

As always our day begins and ends in the Garden.
