An informative evening in Jerusalem
Kindle
I just finished my tour of Old Town Jerusalem: Visit the Wailing Wall, the Armenian Quarter, and more with Raanan. We started in the new town and made our way through the Armenian and Jewish quarters to the Wailing Wall. We passed a hotel that Mark Twain stayed at when visiting Jerusalem and saw some beautiful Armenian pottery at a shop and tilework at an Armenian church. Raanan is a great guide with lots of stories and a very friendly manner. Coincidentially, I took the Explore the Holy and Historical Sites of the Christian Quarter of Old Town Jerusalem tour late last night my time which was very early morning in Jerusalem and Raanan was my guide for that tour also so I had his first and last tour of a very long day for him. Both tours were group tours but I was the only participant both times so got two great private tours. As a further coincidence I took a tour of the Roman Coloseum even later last night and saw the Arch of Titus, the Roman general and later Emperor who destroyed the temple in Jerusalem and took the Menorah back to Rome. The Arch has an engraving of the Menorah so it was an interesting coincidence. I'm planning to take additional tours in Israel as opportunity arises and hope I'm lucky enough to get Raanan again.
