Oh, to re-live this trip with a nice digital camera in hand!
On May 13, 1997, I went to the City of David in West Jerusalem. We threw rocks in the spot where David slew Goliath in the Valley of Elah and toured the Bell caves.
Verdict: This is a place that was not in the first edition, but was added to the 2nd edition, and I would have to agree! Definitely worth seeing! Although, disclaimer, I may see all things Israel/Jordan/Egypt through rose colored glasses because in the Spring of 1997, I ventured off on a Study Abroad to these three countries. It was the first time in my life I'd gotten a passport and left the continental United States (aside from seeing Niagra Falls), so everything was just so amazing to me. I was awe-struck at just about everything I saw. And that's what started my love of travel!
