Bethlehem and Ramallah

Bethlehem - Here was the church of the Nativity (it is thought) and a walk through the city of Bethlehem for some Karkadey juice and through the neighborhood.

Ramallah - Interesting social commentary on the political situation from a Palestinian
perspective amidst the encroaching and continuing settlements. Went to Arafat's memorial. Rode through checkpoints to some of the different areas and our guide's home where he looks out onto new settlements being built. Makes for a tense life on both sides of the wall.
