Evening in Jerusalem

 We went out in the evening

 to the Western Wall plaza

we had some time to look around

Man & Women part

 beggar

 amazing how many kids were up late

here you see the bridge we took in the morning

to get up on temple mount

washing hands ceremoniously

we went for a tour with Nadav

first an explanation how mount Moria was prepared 

for the second temple, to make it large enough for Herod's plans

We go inside

 Looking down to "street level"

2000 years ago

Another model, it's a bit different

different angles and sizes of the courts

 we will be walking on the outside of the wall

We start where there is a giant stone

weight is estimated as 660 metric tonnes

how did it get her? nobody knows

It's as big as u bus and fits exactly

like it was made to be here

 Herodian stones, for sure

 we walk on

 stopping occasionally

Nadav explaining where we are

I think the dent in the wall is from the crusaders 

 going up

 It changes here

we're back to cistern hiking

this time in Jerusalem

Water at the point where we turn and

 walk back to where we started

 we walk around the plaza a bit more

we didn't see any of the young boys' Bar Mitzvah

but did heard the noice just before we arrived at the wall

It was much more difficult to keep track of our group

we didn't wear our packs

We went back to the hotel for our last night in Jerusalem

what a full day this has been
