Bethlehem (300), Tue 27.11.12, Morning

6:40 am, Bethlehem – Checkpoint 300:

Nothing really to report.  Only smiles greet us.  Five checking stations open. 

A "shomer" (guard) greets us with a Boker Tov (good morning).  Lines are short.  The "Socharim" (merchants) pass atseven o'clock and then no one waits.  Everyone has passed.
