Let me begin with Happy Birthday to my wonderful daughter Jenny!
We left Israel proper and went into the Palestinian controlled area which includes the city of Bethlehem. There we stopped to shop at the Nissan Brothers store. We also visited the Shepherd's field and the historic Church of the Nativity.
