I visited Israel-Palestine again this
year. This time I stayed in East
Jerusalem at the Jerusalem Hotel. The hotel and restaurant is owned and run by a
Palestinian family. Employees were from
both Arab Christian and Moslem backgrounds, which made for some interesting
conversations about the present state of affairs in Jerusalem, the West Bank,
and Gaza. The hotel is located near the
so called Garden Tomb and the Damascus Gate in the Old City, both of which are within
minutes of walking distance. I had
several goals this trip including visiting the underground tunnels near the
western wall, the archeological site near the south west end of the Temple
Mount, the Old City of David, and Bethlehem.
I will be posting about my travels
for the next week or so, including pictures and videos. Here are a few pictures from the Jerusalem
Hotel.
