Monday Afternoon in Jerusalem

The group is on its own in Jerusalem. Free to shop and browse, we were let loose to go it alone. Lisa and I stopped into shops and bought some gifts. I warmed up my Hebrew and we met some very welcoming shop owners. We bumped into fellow travelers and shared stories about the streets we walked down and where to get a great falafel snack. Some espresso at a sidewalk cafe with cooler evening breezes flowing through the city made us feel a little bit more like participants than onlookers. I wish I could share more than words with you, because the sights and sounds, the smells and spirit cannot be adequately described. Next time you'll come with us and drink deeply from the place we call simply the Land.
