Lunch in Bethlehem

Brett & Richard with the owner of Christmas Tree Cafe

The food on the entire trip has been excellent. Of course, we’ve been staying in very nice hotels that provide buffets for breakfast and dinner. Today we stopped at the Christmas Tree Café for lunch in Bethlehem. We ordered two pita-bread sandwiches. One was turkey meat, or maybe chicken, or perhaps lamb with chili seasoning. Yummy! The other was a falafal sandwich made from chick-peas crushed and deep fried jammed into a pita pocket. Double yummy!! They were sort of like hush puppies with more flavor. I couldn’t get enough. Walking from the bus the 4 or 5 blocks to Lutheran Christmas Church I stopped in a local street bakery and bought something that looks like donut holes. Instead of sugar these small round pastries burst with honey when you bite down on them. Triple yummy!!! So if you’re wondering, no, I do not miss American fast-food.
