View of the Old City of Jerusalem from the hostel window.

| The narrow lanes of the Old City.
|
| The hostel on St. Mark's Road in the Old City is run by Lutherans, so it was a quiet, pleasant, and clean place with horrible breakfasts. The location and the views can't be beat, though.

If I had a home I would have bought all kinds of carpets and lanterns like these, which are sold in the Old City souk.
|
| It's hard to really capture all of the areas of the Old City since there aren't open spaces. This is a tiny slice of the Jewish Quarter.
|
| People use carts like these (along with motorized versions) to move things through the Old City.
|
| Moving into the Muslim Quarter of the Old City, there are more food vendors and more life.

|
| This is Damascus Gate, one of the several gates in the walls around the Old City.
|
| Crowns of thorns and other religion-themed souvenirs around the Christian Quarter of the Old City.
|
| One of the fourteen Stations of the Cross that are marked throughout the Old City so that people can follow the path that Jesus took before his death.
