It was Friday, our 2nd to last day in Jerusalem. The Jerusalem Marathon was on, 25,000 runners from all over the world, and all the streets were blocked off. Our plan was to walk to the Old City...our route crossed the runners' path
through an open mall that featured sculptures for sale. I could have bought all of them. This is just a sampling of them.
We approached the Old City, at the Jaffa Gate...it was a carnival atmosphere, with the runners entering through the gate...music, clowns, stilt walkers, as Stefan would say, "it has everything".
These runners had just come up a steep hill..
One of the ramparts at the gate. It was a beautiful day.
