Well my dear readers, good things must end.
Like this great poem because it's too expensive to send.
I've learned that a skekel is one third of an American dollar. The tourist industry knows this and charges us tripple the prices. A small soda costs three dollars or more. At the tourist places, they try not to give you change back when ever possible or try cheating you out in the process of making change. For example on march 13th, Leona purchased a small scoop of icecream for $1.50. The next night I paid $1.75 and the guy tried cheating me out of two dollars. The vendors are like vultures. they stand by the door of the place we are at and even at the door of the bus, making it hard for us to get in the door.

We went to a really nice shop in Bethlehem. It was an exclusive appoint for our tour group. They had very good quality stuff for reasonable prices. Not cheap by any means. The owner of the store's father is the man who found the dead sea scrolls.
The owner has one of the clay pots on display in his store. I asked of they have a web site and they said that they will have one in two months.
All their stuff is made by people of Bethlehem and they also have truely Biblical antiques for sale like coins and archeological findings that back three thousand years.
