We awoke to church bells ringing how wonderful was that. Nothing tradition about today at all. We go our bus tickets for Petra tomorrow and will be leaving for our journey through Israel along the Dead Sea to the Jordan border. Hopefully it will be an easier crossing then the crossing into Isreal.
We walked the wall around the Old City seeing things from above. Jerusalem and also Bethlehem are very modern cities and quite affluent. After that we wondered through the streets of the Old City searching for those great souvenirs. The shop keepers aren't as forward as in Egypt, they did understand 'No'. They weren't always happy that we didn't want to check out their shop but they didn't follow us down the street trying to convince us to buy something.
Merry Christmas to the Dunn's, looks like you're having a great trip! Travel safe and thanks for taking us on your journey!!
