The Church of the Holy Sepulchre

The seventh station of the cross.
Amidst cries of “Hello, where are you from? Would you like a tour? Juice? Want Juice?” and a lot of buying and selling and chaos and people, I followed around the Via Dolorosa today in the Old City. I have been to that part of Jerusalem so many times now that it seems I should know my way around, but I am always immediately lost as soon as I start trying to find my way to any specific point.
Do you remember that scene in Divine Intervention–where the female tourist shows up at the same spot twice –lost?
