The tunnels connecting the different sections of the Old City are, in fact, souks (marketplaces) lined with vendor stalls featuring everything from food to jewelry to souvenirs.
One vendor sells t-shirts that cater to both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Debb shows no interest in t-shirts, however, instead buying a pretty ceramic mug and bowl from Suha ...
... and a pendant and earrings from Mustafa. We engaged in probably a half hour of haggling with the very sweet Mustafa over the earrings, but Mustafa wouldn't take no for an answer. Debb wasn't interested in his opening price of $150, but after much bargaining and pleading, Debb finally offered him $20 and he closed the deal. The pendant was purchased for the remaining shekels in my pocket.
