We left Yad Vashem and its sadness and drove toward the bustling area of Mahane Yehuda. On the way we passed this very modern bridge that is incorporated into the new Jerusalem light rail system.
Shalom parked the bus on a side street and we jumped off and through the parking lot - noticing a barbershop quartet playing and singing - to Mahane Yehuda where the vendors were selling fruit, nuts, olives, fresh breads and pastries, fish and poultry among other items. The market was very crowded, filled with shoppers getting ready for Shabbat. We purchased items for our Shabbat lunch - olives, hummus, strawberries, pita bread and juice and stopped at a cafe for an iced coffee.
