POST 531 - 12/22/11: COLUMBIA, NORTH CAROLINA

HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON from COLUMBIA, NORTH CAROLINA...

Visiting Karen and Craig for CHRISTMAS. Son, Noah has guided me through the mysteries of "PhotoBucket" software processing "thousands" of photographs taken from November 1999 thru February 2000 during our 120 day 'round The World Cruise.

Following are selected images of Israel, including JERUSALEM and BETHLEHEM...timely for Christmas 2011:
