Music in the Old City

Last week I decided to take a little adventure into the Old City. When you live so close it can be hard to make it there even a few times a year. I saw that there was going to be a music festival so I figured it could make for an eventful night out. I went with my friend Rebecca and we spend the night following the trail of lights around the Old City as we came across different musical events. My favorite one was when you entered at Jaffa Gate there were 4 musicians hanging from the city wall playing traditional Jewish music. It was quite the performance. There were soloists around many corners of the Jewish quarter and even a band in the Christian quarter that sounded like they came straight from the deep south. Its nice that the city invests time and money into unique cultural events. Looking forward to many more adventures in the Old City.
