Favorite Thing: As soon as we arrived to the Wall, Zohara told me that it is typical to ask something to God by writing a note and leaving it on the cracks of the wall.
I do not know if he/she (God) will hear me, but just in case.... I did it.
These notes are supposed to be pick up and be treated as holy things taken into fire.
In the modern times, you can also send a fax or email with your wish and they will put for you in the wall.
The web site where you can send the player, is this one:

Favorite Thing: While visiting this beautiful area, we took this picture of the walls that go around Jerusalem.
This neighbour and its gardens are a great stop after all the walking over the old city, and have parking places.

Favorite Thing: Down Jaffa Gate, there is a big parking place.
We began our route around Jerusalem through this gate, crossing the Christian quarter, until we arrived to the Western Walls, later the walked through the Jewish quarter, and visited the Cardo as well.

Favorite Thing: Not sure If is this, please correct me if I am wrong, while we were visiting the wailing wall, we saw this group of students, celebrating their first Tora. Their parents were there sharing their happiness.

Favorite Thing: The ultra-Orthodox neighbourhood, where fashion stopped about 150 years ago.
They have preserved the life and uses as their ancestors, who came from Eastern Europe.
Please remember to dress modestly; that means that women should not show her legs (long skirts), well actually women should not show anything, if you want to walk around, show as less as possible.
If you go on Shabbats (Saturdays), do not drive through, take photos or listen to a walkman or you may be in trouble.
I loved the little boys with the payot (sidecurls)

Favorite Thing: At Mea Shearim neighbour.
it was nice to see the first people smiling, after driving over this ultra orthodox Jewish neighbourhood.
times seems not to pass by.
The fashion here is a little different to the rest of the world, due to their religious thoughts.
But this people here are a different ones, that believe that they are praying to good by singing....
At least they make us smile, nice to see people happy and enjoying.
We could not walk around as we were not dress properly
