    I think going to Israel and Bethlehem would be so cosmically profound - I think it would be full of unseen things - but you would "feel" them. Fascinating photos Lenore - many thanks for sharing! Hope your Christmas was wonderful! XX's Sam.

    Is something going to change Lenore ?
    (I'm intrigued by your new header)
    Or am I reading too much into it ?
    Forgive me - seasonal stress :)

    Oh little town of Bethlehem
    How still we see thee lie
    Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
    The silent stars go by...

    Very cool!

    I was obsessed with learning everything I could about the Jewish culture when I was in my senior year at high school. I found this website that had web cam updates of the the West Wall (Wailing Wall) in Jerusalem which was quite cool to keep track of. Travelling without moving :-)

    Am I the only one that thinks of the St. Mary of Bethlehem Hospital in London, also known as the lunatic asylum Bedlam since around 1402, when they hear the name Bethlehem?
