Bethlehem (300), Tue 19.3.13, Morning

Bethlehem – Checkpoint 300, 6:40 am:  five checking stations open.  The area just before the stations is jammed with people. 

At 7:05 AMeveryone has passed.  This in spite of one guard who opened the door of a checking station, stood there for  ten minutes chatting with one of the soldiers who was checking those entering. 

Everyone was very happy today.
