Some Pictures Around Jerusalem

I spent the weekend in Jerusalem with my friend Adam where we attended a conference on judicial review (yes, can't get enough of law stuff it seems) at Hebrew University last Sunday.

Last Saturday, Adam took me to lunch in the Abu Ghosh restaurant located in the town of the same name, an Israeli-Arab town west of Jerusalem on the Tel-Aviv Jerusalem highway. We ate humuus, kabobs and I had the best lemon juice ever.

And then we went to see parts of the Old City. Due to time constraints, I will just have to come back again to comb through all the different quarters. But here are some of the photos I took.

After a brief stop at the Wailing Wall (since it was Shabbat, photography of the plaza was forbidden), we proceeded via the Via Dolorosa to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

And then we asked somebody to take a picture of Adam and I before we left.

More pictures can be found in my flickr album here.
