Our home in Jerusalem

This is our garden studio. Look closely to the left of center to see a glass door, the door to the studio. The studio is a step down. We walk from the garden into the tiny kitchen and dining area, then 6 steps down to the great room, which is not great in size, but great in fulfilling our needs. The bathroom is fairly modern, well equipped. There's even a hair dryer.
It is perfectly suited for us and the location is fabulous.
We are only blocks away from the Old City, about 10 blocks from Ben Yehuda, and two blocks from the wall that used to separate Jerusalem into the Israeli and Palestenian sections. The war in 1967 brought Jerusalem in total to Israel although Menachim Begin said that each of the major religions would get to control their own property. Hence, there is a Muslim quarter, a Jewish quarter, an Armenian quarter, and a Christian quarter within the walls of the old city. The Christians are not always in agreement over who owns what as there are several Christian groups.
