Me, Five Feet, Blogwrath and Toshie (pronounced Toe-She-eh) thought we'd drop by the Al Aqsa mosque and uh pay our respects...

Note the Black water tank - that denotes an Arab building, white means the house/establishment is Israeli. Makes for easier targeting.
On our way but first a pick-me-up.You see those little glasses of coffee? Well they're really really really hot. I think that's why the guy brings that glass of water too.
We told the proprietor that we don't consort with Hookahs.
Souvenir hunting was entirely predictable on the road to Al Aqsa.
The mosque was literally on the other side of the arch as we sipped our coffee.
We bounded, yes bounded up the stairs! Only to be stopped cold by a couple of soldiers who informed us we could not go in.
Some claim it was because today is the Sabbath, I, however, suspect the Mohammedans are afraid.
