Bethlehem (300)

We arrived late to the CP this morning because my partner's bus had a flat tire and she had to wait for Egged to send another bus.  We were greeted with good humor by E, one of the policemen in charge, and three guards asking why we were so late.  Even though there were only stragglers, four checking booths were still open in contrast to the past when at 7:00 AM promptly, only two remained open.  It was a regular day at the CP.
