Time to go into Jerusalem’s old city. Kristen wanted to try and get a realistic idea of what it must be like to have a millstone around her neck.

The “kotel” or wall. This is considered the most holy place for observant Jewish people. It’s the outside wall of Solomon’s temple. Pretty special.

Delicious spices found in the market.
