Not much news to report today. Our tour group dispersed, as the tour portion of my time here wrapped up. So this morning Mom left for the airport, and I took my time packing up and moving out. I arrived at my new digs around noon -- just as the day was really warming up (93 F). I'm staying at the Ecce Homo Convent, in their guest house dormitory. It's a charming place.
Because yesterday was so busy and today so hot, I rested and read for a while and then went for a walk in the twisting alleys of the Old City, munching on falafel in a pita. But I kept winding up in the same spot! It was kind of eerie.
Here's a shot from near my room, on the rooftop courtyard, just after the sun had set. Sure, that minaret in the foreground looks cute now, but just wait till the loudspeakers blare out the call to prayer tomorrow at 6:00 AM...
