Thursday 22 August 2013 Walk through Damascus Gate in the Old City

On top of the Austrian Hostel. A minaret is on the right.  The Muslims use the minarets for their calls to prayer 5 times each day.

 Christian Quarter on the Via de la Rosa.

We stopped at a restaurant in the Christian quarter of the Old City.  Linda and I shared a Shawarma - pita bread stuffed with chicken and salad. The owner had free wi fi connection in his restaurant, so Alexis called their daughter on her cell phone.
