We did a few other things this afternoon but nothing as important as seeing the wailing wall on the west side out the Dung gate. It is where the Jewish people go to pray because they dont have a temple. There is a section for men and women. The wall is interesting because you can see the big stones that were used at the time of Herrod the great. Next level Byzantine. Next level Crusaders. Final layer modern day. People pray facing the wall and some put little notes or prayers in the cracks of the wall. Some sit and read or meditate. Its quite a contradiction to see these people with armed soldiers in the court yard. Im talking AK47s and grenades strapped to their belt. Young soldiers. Very sad that it is necessary. Im thankful I dont live in a city where that is present.
