Description
From Egypt, Kenneth went over to Jerusalem and stayed with a resident American community there. There were riots between the Jews and the Arabs, and the Armenians were caught in the middle. Kenneth fell in with a young Armenian who was driving an Erskine 6 car, a nice new one. He wanted Kenneth to hire him to drive around for so much a day, and once again Kenneth bargained. They would go as friends, and Kenneth would pay all the gas, food, and lodging expenses, to which the Armenian agreed. A very nice fellow. The two of them toured all over Palestine, the Dead Sea, and the Sea of Galilee, where they stayed with some monks.
