Today was our free day. We got to sleep in then we went into old Jersualem for some shopping and exploring. During the last few day the jewish people have been celebrating Purim. Purim is a holiday that celebrates Esther saving her people from death (book of Esther). They dress up like Halloween
We are leaving for the airport at 1am Thursday morning. We will be getting back to the island about 2m Friday morning. till then

I wonder where the dressing up idea came from?

Thanks for the pictures, Troy. I never get tired of seeing them. Your pictures seemed to give a slightly different perspective from those of other people who have gone. Hope you had a great time.
Hope you have had time to get your pictures organized, Troy. I'll be home in a week and want to check more of them out. (also I think you are about due for a new post)
