Via Dolorosa:
The Via Dolorosa is a narrow, stone path believed to be the route Jesus took to His Crucifixion nearly 2000 years ago. It is also known as "The Way of The Cross" or "The Way of Sorrow" and is one of Christendom's most sacred sites. Each year thousands of Christian pilgrims visit and walk along this path.

Two young Jews walking through the market to get to the Wailing wall, In the Old city. The Wailing Wall (as it is known in the West) or Western Wall (derived from Hebrew: הַכּוֹתֶל הַמַּעֲרָבִי, romanized: HaKotel HaMa'aravi, lit. 'the western wall', often shortened to the Kotel , is an ancient limestone wall in the Old City of Jerusalem. The wall was originally erected as part of the expansion of the Second Jewish Temple begun by Herod the Great, the Wall is the holiest place where Jews are permitted to pray.

Backgammon is one of the oldest known board games. The object of the game is to move your pieces along the board's triangles and off the board before your opponent does. It is quiet popular with the Arab shop keepers. In the photo one player not in the photo has lost while the victor is asking for yet another game.

I'll bet these lads can haggle a price Balan..? ;D
BT: You know every 5 steps one of those lads calls you ''Come in please, what do you want, come inside, please, just look!'' Maybe best to do the 'Quickstep.' Before their shop ''Slow, slow, then quick, quick, slow?'
Until the football starts :
A journey to taste some food in the City of Jerusalem
