Day one in Israel

Day One in Israel: In the morning we went to JUC (Jerusalem University College) to have orientation and the course introduction. Then we went on a Old City walk around Jerusalem.

This is called the "Dung Gate" even though there is not a gate. It is an entrance in and out of the old city.

This is looking down onto the Kidron Valley from the city of David. The village you can see is an Arab village.

This is a typical street in the old city, except this isn't as bad as the others because it doesn't have shops on the left hand side. As you walk down these streets, you get yelled at from the shop owners to come and buy stuff, and you constantly have to move out the way for boys with carts that don't wait for you to move.

This is looking out on to the Mount of Olives.
