JERUSALEM & RAMALLAH, PALESTINE: FROM JERUSALEM TO RAMALLAH AND BACK AGAIN

The morning started by walking to two bus stations before I found the third one (the one I needed) to get to Ramallah. I had a nice, strong Arabic coffee while I waited. The man said, “You’re taking pictures? Come here.” He opened the door for me to get a better view and then said “You really need to take this in video, but that’s ok.” haha.
