Israel - Jerusalem 3

We crossed over the valley to the Old City - here we're looking for a gate to get inside

Looking back across the valley - that's the Mount of Olives 

These walls were built in 1538

If you can make this photo larger you will see all the tour buses  parked over on the Mount of Olives.

As we rounded the corner to the south part of the wall we came to the old city of David section currently being excavated

Our first view from inside the walls.  The area to the left in front of the wall has the steps of the temple where Jesus would have stood to teach
