| On the way to the Temple Mount |
Today we went to the Temple Mount and saw the Dome of the Rock, but only from the outside as only Muslims are allowed in. Of course that was not always the case and as our guide said, look at all the money they are loosing. After that, we walked through the Arab section of Israel, stopped at Falafel restaurant for a snack, visited the Holy Sepulcher again, and had lunch at the Israel Museum. I skipped the Holocaust Museum and came back to then to the hotel for a nap. It seems that Montezuma also resides in Jerusalem and he has paid me a visit.
