The Old city by NJB

Today we woke up, had breakfast, and walked 
to the old city. We entered through the 
Damascus gate and boy it was packed! 

There were people driving through the streets 
that were full of people! At least they made so 
much noise you could hear them like 30 seconds 

before they arrived. There were, I think, six 
sweet shops and on the way to some place and 
this place that had like five chickens roasting 

and something on a vertical spit and they both 
had fires underneath them. Then (after like 45 
minutes) we wondered to the western wall and 

stopped at a grocery and got mango juice then 
we sat down and drank it. After that we got lost 
(though my mom kept insisting we weren’t lost) 

and somehow climbed stairs that lead to the 
dome of the rock or at least a view of it. 
I’m pretty sure that they wouldn’t have let us in 
anyway. Then we went back down the stairs and 
continued forward and after a couple of minutes 
later I recognized a shop and knew we were near the 

Damascus gate. We got out of the old city and 
then we went home, had lunch, did screen time, 
had dinner, watched the grand tour, and went to 
sleep.
