Old Jerusalem Train Station

The Old Jerusalem Train Station has been converted into a place called "First Station," which houses restaurants, shops, and daily craft shows. We headed down to the station because there are -- no joke -- Formula One racing cars on display there this week, and we wanted to check them out. Unfortunately, we were turned away -- turns out the cars are only on display at night -- but we still enjoyed First Station, where they had a cool play area for kids, including trains (of course) and go-cart bikes that Alexander could not get enough of. With its shaded boardwalk, bike path, and relaxed cafes, First Station is a nice little spot in Jerusalem!

And here are a couple of pictures of Benjamin, just for fun. He's turning into a happy little boy, and he's come up with some creative uses for my yoga mat! Is it a hat? A tent? You decide...
