First day out alone. Walked around a basic circle of the four quarters- astonishingly mazy, but small, so not too terribly difficult to find your way. Very interesting. Went to the Tower of David museum, on the history of the city. Good museum, with weird sculpture park business going on. Pleasant, quiet, grassy place to spend awhile.

Way back, got accosted by that son of the Bedouin shopkeeper from yesterday. I was too nice to him, and he stalked me seriously creepily all day. Finally proposed marriage, turned out that he wanted an American Visa. Seriously creepy day.

Walking tour to the Wall, Wall Tunnels, Damascus Gate, Via Dolorosa. Kind of an uncomfortable guide- lots of uncomfortable anti-Arab jokes and a weird mishmash of actual history and folksy pseudo-history. Very odd, but got to see the tunnels, Damascus gate, learn a little more about the sepulchre.
