Saturday night - right across from the hotel is Migdal David, the Tower of David.

No one knows why it's called that, because it was built hundreds of years after David, and there are no known stories connecting David to the site.

Inside the Migdal David complex.

After entering the towers among the Old City walls, we were greeted with a couple of glass sculptures. This one dangled from the ceiling; must have been 8 feet tall.

Entering a small auditorium, we watched 4 costumed characters introduce themselves. We were watching a murder mystery!

Chris, Leor, Corey, Ilya, Yaron and Maureen mug for the camera while Ira watches the proceedings with interest.

Our group split up, and met each of the characters as they tried to convince us why they could not have killed a young man, the brother-in-law to King Herod. This woman is a middle-aged religious woman related to the murdered Aristobulus.

These people gave her a pretty rough time....

Here is that other glass sculpture, blood-red spikes about ten feet long. Weird.

Our next defendant was the Captain of the Guard, who amused Yaron and Maureen (but not that guy from bus #12). He had some trouble being the new actor of the bunch, and it didn't help that someone stole his script.

King Herod himself tried to convince us he was innocent. He wasn't.

We visited the Queen (originally from California), sister of the murdered youth, in her chambers, which intrigued Zvi.

Corey, Barak Raz and Ilya had a fulfilled evening, as evidenced by the cool hand symbol they came up with.
