Sabbati-blog

Quite a bit has happened since my last post. On Saturdays pretty much everything here shuts down for Shabbat (sabbath) so Robin, Isaac and I thought it would be nice to walk around the city. The Ministry of Tourism sponsors a walking tour of different neighborhoods every Saturday morning so we thought it would be something nice to do. Unfortunately we were a little late and the tour had already left. So, we decided to do our own walking tour of the neighboorhood. It's call Yamin Moshe and was the first neighborhood to be established outside the Old City walls in the mid 1800's. There's a big windmill there and lots of tiny streets with very interesting houses. I also found the Jerusalem Music Center but it was closed for Shabbat.

More to come... In the meantime, here are two photos from our walk. Robin and Isaac at the Montefiore Windmill and Isaac and I in Yamin Moshe with the Old City in the background.
