My trip to Jerusalem was planned. well, actually i only planned to give a short lecture to employers about how -to-make effective job interviews with people with disabilities
What I didn’t know is how joyful the rest of the day will be! 
Just a little note so you can understand the context, one of my colleagues who joined me to the lecture, shared with me early that morning, that she just got back from her doctor who notified her that she has recovered from an early stage of cancer. I was shocked to hear that. I then suggested that we will visit the Western wall - which is a holy place for Jewish believers.
So after the lecture me and two of my colleague friends, took the Jerusalem Light Rail to the Machane Yehuda Market / Shuk - an amazing, colorful market with fresh food and ingredients. I felt the spirit of the city inside! and it was delightful to drink sangria in the middle of the day
Then we walked for about 3 km on ‘Yafo’ street and just socked in the atmosphere of the city with the crowded pavements. we entered the old city and walked through the Old City Market, in narrow Alleys that cross the Jewish quarter, the Armenian quarter, the Christian quarter and the Muslim quarter.
There were alot of goodies to buy but i didn’t buy anything - i had a purpose, to reach the Western wall, so my friend, who i mentioned in the first paragraph, will be able to pray for her recovering and health.
Finally, and easily we have arrived! although I’m not religious, I was amazed by the site of the bricked wall and all the notes that ‘contain’ prayers from all over the world.
I am planning to make a longer visit next time and stay over a night or two in a hotel
