We got an early start for a trek through Old Jerusalem and got to see the remains of the city walls from the First Temple Period. We saw St. Mary's Hospice of the German Knights from the Crusader Period, and we walked through the Jewish Quarter - largest section but most modern; upper section of the old city. As the sun rose, we saw the first clouds we had seen on our trip. The Western Wall (including the constructed gateway for non-Muslims to access the Temple Mount). Next stop: Jerusalem Archaeological Park We spied a tiny kitty hiding among the fig leaves - and fed him : ) Artifacts from the Byzantine Period discovered in the excavations near the Temple Mount - including the oil lamps (right) like Jesus taught about in the Parable of the ten bridesmaids or virgins (Matthew 25).
