Old City at Night

  Walked a mile or more last night after dinner.  Damascus Gate scene of some of the toughest fighting during the Six Day War 1967.
Church doors just closed- too bad

Church of the Holy Sepulchre -Christian Jewish

Street vendor-dried apricots, dates, candied ginger. Yummy


Gate on right: time of Constantine (pointed arch).  
Left: Roman probably forty feet below 

Original via Dolorosa is about forty feet below the
present one due to destruction of the city and new one 
built on rubble of old
