Well, to be more precise, Joe and I are having dinner at the same time in the same hotel. The Palestinian Authority use the Presidential Suite in the hotel for visiting dignataries and Joe is the most important to have visited Bethlehem in a long, long while.
My room overlooks the Presidential Suite (to the left in the picture below)
I'll be having dinner with the other guests here for the international conference Christ at the Checkpoint. It will be interesting to see whether our conference will be more productive than Joe Biden's meeting with members of the Palestinian Authority tonight. Now why do I think it will?
* Joe actually sent his apologies and George came instead.
