On the way out of Bethlehem, we saw the Palestinian take on an American icon... Then it was on to Jerusalem and the Hotel Gloria... After we found our rooms, unpacked and had a little supper, we took a trip to The Israel Museum... The dome structure above houses the Dead Sea Scrolls. This fountain/roof is huge and was created to resemble the lid from one of the clay jars that contained the scrolls...The pictures that follow are some of the artifacts contained in the museum... Outside there was this very cool 1/5th size model of Jerusalem, second Temple time...The bummer was it was night time...Would've loved to have seen this in the light of day... After another breathtaking day in the Holy Land, it was back to the Gloria for a good night's rest... Bye: Mark
