Small trip to Bethlehem

The French Cultural Centre in Bethlehem held an exhibition opening of Contemporary French art through the last decade, and that was a good excuse for us to go there. It took an hour by bike each way (would probably have taken longer in bus), and it was easier to get through the car checkpoint than through the pedestrian one (not so many fences and no bag scanning).

Little Town of Bethlehem - where you can still meet a flock of sheep in the street.

The exhibition was nice, but the food was just as great... Contemporary art is sometimes just too strange for me. But I recognised a "picture" with luminosity curves for pulsationg stars, which amused me and made me think about my big gymnasium paper on Cephid variable stars.


Afterwards we spend the eveing at the Bethlehem Peace Centre Bar talking with friends and finally listening to Arabic music, 3oud and violin, and also some singing. Nice and relaxed eveing, and thanks for the company!
