BYU librarians Connie Lamb and Jennifer ? came to update the JC library and give it a through cleaning. They got rid of a lot of magazines since they are all online now. We took them around the city stopping at Shaban's souvenir shop.
They walked the Rampart's walk along the Old City Wallls.

Montefiore Windmill and colony was the first housing outside of the Old City. Montefiore built the windmill as a way to grind wheat and make a living. It wasn't successful and electricity soon was used changing the grinding process. Today it is an upscale artist colony with nice apartments just west of Mount Zion.
This is a view from the Tower of David. It was actually a mosque but people coming from Jaffa saw it from a distance and assumed it was part of the City of David, calling it David's Citadel.
This was a relief map showing the major civilizations
- Egypt, Jerusalem, Fertile Crescent, and Turkey

Cannon balls from thousands of years ago used in protecting the city.
Blaine and Linda just happy to be here - in front of the city wall.
I think Jennifer's last name is Pastinbaugh. Great photos.
