Our trip to Jerusalem and Israel is quickly drawing to a close. We spent Sunday morning at the Supreme Court, where we listened to a case against the state, and at the Knesset, which was not in session but was preparing for the new government which will be sworn in on Wednesday.
And then we wandered about town stopping at other important sites--a Gelato in the German colony, Max Brenner chocolate (a chain of eateries), and a bagel shop.
Abby joined us for the afternoon and evening and gave us a tour of her home turf--German colony. This is a very upscale neighborhood, with straight streets--the first we've seen in Jerusalem. Restaurants are upscale, the neighborhood is home to the young and up and coming. We checked some realty listings, a home in the area can cost $3.6 million for about 3000 square feet.
There are so many individual neighborhoods, sometimes one only has to go around the corner to be in a distinctly different neighborhood. We haven't seen them all and are continually surprised when we take a turn we hadn't tried before. We thought we had pretty much seen Jerusalem, now we know we have not.
