From Jerusalem to Bethlehem: Checkpoint pandemonium (couldn't get a very good shot, they're not crazy about people taking pictures at the checkpoints. The most terrible is a huge "Peace Be With You" sign in four languages posted on the 20 ft containment wall, brought to you by the Ministry of Tourism).
Jerusalem: Dome of the Rock and Western Wall
Jerusalem: The Church of the Holy Sepulchre was a gilded spectacle.

Bethlehem: Chugwater Chili dinner party % my mother Sarah and Jason
