Went to the Citadel of David. More on this later.
Went back to Bethlehem so I could get inside the basement of the Church of the Nativity, which I wasn't able to see on Christmas Eve. The picture below shows the location where Jesus is said to have been born. Nearby is another shrine that is said to be the place Mary first laid Him in the manger.
SAHLEB! What a delicious treat from Bethlehem Square.
This picture shows how the children of the West Bank and Israel are constantly living under military influence. This photo was taken as a few Palestinian boys were playing cops and robbers in an abandoned courtyard.
Made food for tomorrow's trip to the Dead Sea. We stuffed peppers, zucchini, and grape leaves.
