Stupid Question

• In a tiny, quiet neighborhood between Yafo and Agrippas, between King George and Kiakh, we sat on the stone tiers of a small amphitheater while the guide told us the path of the walking tour. Then he explained when the buildings around us were built and pointed out architectural details.
• "And this amphitheater," I asked. ‘When was it built?'
• "About a year and a half ago."
• "What’s its purpose?"
• "It’s a place to sit while you hear what you’re going to see."
• Our group headed toward the Alliance school mural (http://jerusalemblog.blogspot.com/2006/07/mural.html ). Another group found shady places to sit.
• Are there really no stupid questions?
