Israel - Jerusalem/Bethlehem

Toured with Guided Tours Israel today to Jerusalem and Bethlehem. There were 16 of us in a people mover vehicle with our guide Gil plus a driver. Gil and driver met us right outside the ship in Ashdod. It was a long, fast-paced and hot day but we saw and did a lot of amazing things. A note about my photography: We were told we could take photos other than closeups of faces at the Western Wall, so I did. I was also careful to not interrupt or bother people at prayer/worship, often using my telephoto lens rather than getting close to people.
