Israel ed.After viewing the city of Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, I finally step into the Old City within the city walls.
And my first stop was the Wall of Sorrows, a Jewish holy site.
I felt a strange sensation here.
Israel ed.The Old City of Jerusalem is less than one kilometer square. Within it are densely built religious sites that have played an important role in history.
The start of the day's walk is the Mount of Olives on the east side of the Old City. From here, you can get a beautiful view of the Old City and the New City of Jerusalem. I also visited the Garden of Gethsemane, famous in the Bible.
Israel ed.After my stay in Istanbul, my next stop was Israel.
I was headed to Israel to visit Jerusalem, the holy city of the world's three great monotheistic religions.
I was baptized into Israel as soon as I entered the country.
