Bring your appetites and swimsuits. The Gulf of Mexico is nearby, and we'll be swimming with the dolphins.

While the Inn is now gone, it’s magnificent entrance is preserved as a Sam Ash store.

Bethlehem, Christmas Day 1910

In 1910 Bethlehem is under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, WWI is a few years away, and a young archaeologist named T E Lawrence is working in nearby Syria.

Looking closely at the detail, there is some sort of procession (some robed participants can be made out at the bottom of the card, right of center).  The square is packed with people hoping to see, balconies and roofs overlooking the square are filled.  A horse drawn cart is either part of the ceremony, or very lost.
