You totally have Sound of Music stuck in your head now. By beginning I mean the beginning of the New Testament... We continued from the morning into Bethlehem for lunch. Bethlehem is in Palestine. We ate lunch in a very fancy Nissan Restaurant. After lunch, we went across the street to the Nissan Olive Wood Factory. They take wood like this... And turn it into things... Like this! The olive wood factory really was amazing. We then got back on our bus to continue on to the Church of the Nativity. We entered the loud, bustling Greek Orthodox church and went down the stairs... To the place they say Jesus was born. The room was beautifully decorated, almost ad nauseam We then exited into a nice courtyard. And re-entered the much quieter Catholic side of the building. We went down another set of stairs to a much more authentic feeling place. We prayed and sang a few Christmas carols before departing back to the bus. Despite this long post, we still did more today! But that's all for now :)
Love to all, ~Laura
