A walk to the Mount of Olives

Radka and I decided to get out of the apartment and take a walk around. We walked down to the Old City. We entered through the Jaffa Gate and ended up on the Via Dolarosa. We followed it out the Lion's Gate and walked down the hill to the Garden of Gethsemane and Mary's Tomb. We decided to walk up to the top of the Mount of Olives. Walking up, we passed the Church of Maria Magdelene and the Dominus Flevit Chruch. Once on the top of the Mount, there was a guy giving camel rides. Radka had never been on a camel, so she wanted to give it a try. She got to ride a camel around the top of the Mount of Olives overlooking the Old City of Jerusalem. Not a bad deal for just wanting to get out of the apartment for a while. It was a good walk.
