We will meet at 10.00 at Gan Binyamin in Hadar. Here is a link from Google Maps - https://maps.app.goo.gl/HTSReJEUnsTMTfXx7. From there we will walk to Shuk Talpiot (3-4 minutes’ walk). Diana will talk about the historic Talpiot Building and its upcoming renovation. We will talk to some of the merchants and find out their story and how and from where they get their produce. We will look at several abandoned buildings and try to understand their story and finally we will look at some of the many places to eat in the area and anyone who wants to end the tour with lunch at one of these is welcome to do so (not included).
