What a week on Steemit!
I'm back from my week in Jerusalem. I was working a lot of the time, but managed to see some of this amazing city. It's just mind-boggling to think that you are walking around where the bible stories happened, even as a non-believer. 

On my last day I did a tour of the [Tower of David](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_David). This old fortress has a great view across the city. I also saw the excavations they have done to find some of the palace built by King Herod a couple of thousand years ago.

[One of my posts](https://steemit.com/travel/@steevc/exploring-old-jerusalem-by-night) about my travels turned into one of my most successful ever thanks to some big whale votes. I really don't expect to make that much, so it's a pleasant surprise. 

![Top post](https://steevc.keybase.pub/steemit/2016-12-10Toppost.png)

Whilst travelling I finally managed to complete the latest [Neal Stephenson book](https://steemit.com/review/@steevc/seveneves-by-neal-stephenson). My review post has more than paid for the book.

So my wallet is looking pretty good right now. I'm building up my Steem Dollars so that I can look at doing some buying of whatever is available out there. I'd like to spend SBD directly rather than having to convert to something else. So I may be using [Peerhub](https://www.peerhub.com/).  I'm also looking to add to my [guitar pick collection](https://steemit.com/guitar/@steevc/picks-across-the-oceans) and will pay postage using SBD. I may pay more if anyone offers something special. I actually had another offer to send me some from Australia, but the contributor has declined my postage offer. I'll report on what I receive.

Really cool post!
I never really had the opportunity to travel, But post like these allows me to travel through your experiences - so to speak.
thank you for sharing.

Same here. It's nice when you have some time to see the sights and experience the flavor of the area, too.
