We drove through the streets of Bruchsal and I saw the jailhouse, the hospital, the Damianstor (an old city gate) and the area of the palace.

Finally my "mum" found time to write the first update here. She is very busy with the end of the school year coming, but it is time for her to write something here and to upload some photos before I travel to alleycat in Jerusalem. I'm so looking forward to visiting her soon.

Yay! I'm in Jerusalem! I haven't seen anything yet, but at alleycat's home I already met 2 toyvoyagers - a beautiful lady rabbit called Purple Bun, who had come from England, and a cheerful penguin called Tux, who is still planning to travel.
Tux is leaving us soon, but it appears that Purple Bun is staying for 2-3 more weeks, and we'll go to all the interesting places together! I'm very pleased! it should be fun

Yesterday me and Purple Bun, my travelling companion from England, went to see the city center! Purple Bun is very interested in religious places, so we saw a couple of churches, which are really quite impressive.
This is The Notre Dame of Jerusalem, located not far from the Old City, is an international pilgrimage and cultural center. It has a web site: http://www.notredamecenter.org
And here is another one - the Holy Trinity Church, which is a Russian Orthodox Church. It's surrounded by trees, so it's difficult to make a picture. The photographing inside is not allowed, so it would't make much sense to enter even if our host were dressed properly for the occasion.

We dropped by the municipal building, located in a spacey area surrounded by trees.
Lion is a symbol of Jerusalem, so everywhere you go you can see lion statues and pictures.
I love all these tropical gardens!

Here's the Jaffa street - one of the central, busiest and oldest streets in Jerusalem.
No traffic? that's rare!
A typical house on one of the narrow side-streets - palm trees on the balconies, too!
Most of the buildings on the central streets are used for little shops, cafeterias, restaurants, clubs etc.

Jerusalem, Israel - 24th July 2007

We passed through Abu Ghosh - an Arab village west of Jerusalem whose inhabitants are known for their friendly relations with their Jewish neighbors.
So I stopped to see a mosque.
The place is a bit crowded because of a few restaurants nearby.
