What's the weather like in Jerusalem?
Hot! Hot! Hot! I think the English used giant fans to steer their recent hot weather this way.

My desktop weather gadget says it's 27 outside right now at 10:23AM. The temps will be hitting close to 40 during the next few days, till after the weekend.

My favorite place was the Sea of Galilee. I also like the river Jordan where an old Arab merchant had an orange juice machine that he made fresh orange juice from fresh oranges from Joppa.
Jaffa (Yaffo in Hebrew) is the name of Israel's ancient port city, on the southern tip of Tel Aviv. Labeled Jaffa brand oranges, however, can come from anywhere in the country. Israel's a big citrus fruit producer. No scurvy over here.

I've never tasted an orange juice since that was sweeter and had the pulp that the Arab merchant made. One of these days I'll come back and visit and see how much it has changed since 1978.
Big differences.

I do remember that our tour guide led us through the marketplaces of Old Jerusalem and we read in Stars and Stripes that a merchant cart had been loaded with C-4 explosives and went off an hour after we left that same spot!
We have long ago stopped frequenting Arab markets, both for security's and principle's sake.
