Day 5 (modifed with pics)

Well here we are at the end of day five. We spent most of the day on the road to Jerusalem from Tiberias. Once we finally found our hotel, Patty and I took what can only be described as an extremely frustrating and unnerving drive around the city. The part of the city our hotel is located in is unfamiliar territory for me and since most of my experience in Jerusalem is walking in a 2 mile radius of the Old City, we decided tomorrow we will take a cab to the Jaffa Gate of the Old City and explore by foot.


We did go to the Israel Museum and saw many artifacts dating from the Neolithic, Caananite and Israelite periods, including a 1st century ankle bone with a nail driven through it by crucifixion! Afterward we had dinner in a little neighborhood sandwich shop and pizzeria and came back to the hotel. Patty took a picture of a full moon over the city from our room. Tomorrow the Old City and lots of pictures!
