a day in jerusalem

dekel and i had something to do in jerusalem on thursday, which i cant really talk about on the blog yet...but soon to be revealed! anyways, we had to be there at 8 AM and it was crutial to arrive on time, even get there early, and since we live about an hour and a half away, we ended up leaving at 5 AM! we got there around 7 due to morning traffic, just in time for coffee and a croissant. then, after dek's meeting, which ended around 9, we figured we would spend a few hours and walk around the jerusalem market.

here are some tons of photos, if you would like to see...

my handsome husband, a little nervous before his meeting


we split seasame seed bread with a side of za'atar to dip it in
the jerusalem market

so many spices!


a cluttered market shop
little characters
women in "line" to get their hands on some special spices at this particular market shop
candies & gummies
anyone need a collared shirt?
a spice pyramid with the golden dome at the top! i was so impressed!
fresh meat
one of the many grand entrances to the jerusalem market
so many shoes for sale...
a pretty street sign in the tiny ways of the inner city
the wailing wall
men to the left, women to the right

where i put my note
women praising & praying to the wall
fresh red grapefruit juice on our way out of the market
yum!
