Our next stop, and main purpose of the cruise, was Jerusalem.  I was astonished to realize that this city, which plays such a pivotal role in three major religions is one square mile.  It is so small that it only took us about two minutes to walk between holy sites.   Also, I think I heard this song about four times that day.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8AWFf7EAc4&feature=related
