Jerusalem, Israel I/II

This time I went to Israel for my studies. I was staying in Jerusalem on the Givat Ram Campus of The Hebrew University. Most of the time I spent in Jerusalem and unfortunately I had no time to visit North Israel. But this trip to this wonderful country was not the last one.
Jerusalem has a lot of places to take pictures of. Here are some of the pictures I took.


The first night Shimshon, my host, took me to Abu Ghosh for dinner. The second night i went for a walk in the area north-east of the campus.
The campus.
The Knesset. When I arrived in Israel, George W. Bush was in Jerusalem and therefore the US flag was flown and most of the roads were closed.
Jerusalem has a new "attraction". A rope bridge.
The third day I went to Yad Vashem. The first time I have been to Jerusalem i missed to visit this Holocaust museum.
