Just the street sweepers, the police and us at 0445

I had planned to pick up Pastor Rice at the airport because he arrived 12 hours ahead of the AY tour group.  He landed at 0400, but the public transportation doesn't start until 0500.  He was willing to wait for us, and we did the best we could.  We got the first #204 bus of the day at 0525 and the second (?) train to the airport of the day at 0605.  Not much out at that hour but the street sweepers and the  police.  And he was ready for us. We reversed the trip, but there is that one wrinkle: the stairs (no elevator) to the southbound train station exit. He was, of course, a good sport.  Then we waited for the bus to Rothschild Blvd, where we had a wonderful breakfast at Benedict.  We walked to my apartment, deposited the suitcase, drank more water and chatted. We decided to take a walk up to Dizengoff Fountain. We got him to his hotel to check in, then walked back to Rothschild Blvd to meet the tour group at Independence Hall.
