Arrival


On the shuttle ride from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, the driver took a detour through some Israeli-occupied territory. The buildings in this picture are an Arab village. We also passed through several peaceful Jewish settlments.


All street signs have directions in Hebrew, Arabic, and English.


This is the view from the terrace of my small hotel. On the left you can see the walls of the old city of Jerusalem. In the center is the Church of the Dormition.


This is the view looking in the other direction. The hotel is attached to St. Andrews Church.
