Shalom, Israel! These pictures were taken at the Kotel (the Western Wall/ the Wailing Wall). Despite the fact that it is known as the wailing wall, there is not a whole lot of wailing that goes on there. Most of the time people are praying and the men go into a special archway to study Torah.

The soldiers in the green uniforms are recent graduates of the IDF training program.


The man walking towards the camera is perhaps pne of my favorite men at the Kotel--he's got Hustpa, if you ask me.


At 7:00am tomorrow morning (Sunday the 13th) a ceasefire goes into effect as the UN decides on the makeup of a 15,000 member peace-keeping force. Hoprefully peace will follow. Lachietriot.
