Shepherd Girls: $1!!

some interesting facts. Bethlehem is actually controlled FULLY by the palestinians. NO jews at all. just like jericho and gaza. (i hope i'm factually correct. sometimes moshe stands quite far, or i can't quite catch what he's saying.. so pardon me if i make any factual errors)

anyway, here, we stopped to check out some shepherds tending their flock. it's amazing how amidst all these wars and technological advancements, there are still many shepherds living lives AS shepherds, tending their flock and running a business. and it's so near the city!!

you'd think only Singaporeans have their "one dollar, one dollar" aunties and uncles.. here in israel, they've got "one dollar" girls! ie, take a picture of me and my sheep for only 1 dollar. well, guess that's partly how they make their living!

didn't want to pay $1, and didn't exactly want to hold the sheep, so took them in the background haha.. cheapskate us i know
