Santa? or is it Bill Clinton in disguise?
Dear Citizens of the World!
Being an expat in the very Western Tel Aviv you often forget that you are in the Holy Land...Whereas Jerusalem is the front-line of the battle between religions.
Personally, the stress of living on the front line would not be my choice location, but going for the day is well worth the time, and easy to do since it only takes about 45 minutes to get there from Tel Aviv.
However, on this visit, we were only had time to visit the Holly Supulchre and to have lunch at a restaurant the Pope John Paul ate at.
I love how the intense beam of winter sunlight shoots across the church.
The low amount of light and the one-meter thick wall makes the shot look like a drawing...
Natural light from the eye of the Pantheon-like dome of the Saint Supulchor Church
Christmas decorations on sale in the Christain quarter.
So, if you are in Tel Aviv and you miss the Christmas spirit. Head on over to the front-line and buy some decorations from a Muslim vendor in the Christian quarter that will still be open during the Jewish Shabbat!

And what kind of food did you and pope john paul II have in Jerusalem??
French/Italian. See Santa with sax above. The restaurant's claim to fame is that the pope ate their food on his visit. They have pictures with the chef. A tiny place near the tower of David, on the Christain side.
This set of photos are brilliant.
