Jerusalem 2

This is a familiar view. It shows women's section of the Western Wall or Wailing Wall. No one was wailing when we were there--they were real quiet. This wall is actually a huge retaining wall started by the Romans to create a level area at the top of the large hill Jerusalem sits on. Look at the bottom rows of stone, the large ones. Those are the Roman ones. Above this was the 'second temple' of Biblical reknown.
