At the end of the Carmel market in Tel Aviv was the lovely Carmella Bistro in a historic restored building. They offered a "Business Lunch," allowing an otherwise unaffordable splurge fit into my budget.

Next stop is Jerusalem, just an hour's drive away from Tel Aviv by sherut, or shared taxi. This is a view from my hotel of the "rooftop promenade."

The Orthodox often use the rooftop promenade to bypass the Muslim Quarter on their way to the Western Wall. The Old City of Jerusalem is made up of four quarters in order of size; Muslim, Jewish, Christian, and Armenian.

The Western Wall, aka the "Wailing Wall," built 2000 years ago as retaining wall for the Temple Mount where the second temple stood, the most holy of all Jewish sites. Divided into men's and women's sections.
