Alive and Well in Bethlehem

We're in Christmastown! (Seriously, they even have a countdown to Christmas.)

Alright, we've arrived in Bethlehem and are back to touring after a week of digging.

First, we went to church this morning and had the experience of hearing both the Lord's Prayer and "How Great Thou Art" in Arabic. Pretty cool. :)

We then saw Herod's Temple ruins, in which they actually found Herod's tomb.

Then we went out for some shopping and saw the wall that divides Israel and Palestine. The wall was intimidating.

We then headed back and had some dinner. I know this post is really short, and a bit lame, but I'll make up for it with a picture! Ready?

Here's the group at the Herodian Palace

See you guys in a few weeks! I can't believe this trip is almost wrapping up. Jeepers.
