Changing cabs

Changing cabs
Originally uploaded by bastchild.

The journey to Hebron was rather circuitous because I had to change vehicles a few times. Just outside of Bethlehem, I changed taxis and walked across this mound to get to another taxi. I think these short cuts are set up to avoid certain bottlenecks and IDF checkpoints that would otherwise lengthen the journey. On the way back we had to make some detours to avoid the long traffic lines at the checkpoints, but finally hit one as we approached Jerusalem, waiting about 45 minutes.
