The dead sea was so interesting to me, i could not get over how if felt, the water didn't even really feel like water and it left like an oily residue on your hands. We didn't swim because there was no where to wash off and you can't leave the water on you, b/c of the high salt content. but it was still very cool to put our hands in and see how it felt and then to see the salt crystals on the rocks was really interesting.
But what was really just amazing was to stand and look out over Mount Nebo, where they believe was the spot that Moses stood when God showed him the promise land. So to stand there and look out was pretty amazing. Just to be in that spot and looking out over the promise land, and it was a little hard to see but you could see the Jordan River and just imagine them crossing over; it was all very amazing to see.
The other pic. of Kirk and Annielynne we were in another very old city; and just walking up and down the streets was very cool just to realize the history there. We went to one site where we actually saw pieces of the Roman road and just to think back on all the history was pretty amazing. This city also has some orthodox and catholic influence so I was able to find a cross with the Lord Prayer in arabic, can't wait to hang it up when we get home! Pretty amazing places!
