The Old City of Jerusalem

Huge walking day. Jerusalem is built on hills, so we got a workout! Bus took us to the top of the Mount of Olives & we walked down from there through the Jewish & Muslim cemeteries to the Garden of Gethsemane and on into the Old City (behind the city walls) of Jerusalem. Did the stations of the cross along the Via Delarosa, saw many churches, saw Jesus's tomb, Calvary, etc. Today was mainly orientation then we'll go back later this week and tour everything more in depth.
