The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan..

So this week we got back from our AWESOME trip to Jordan. I never thought I'd be in Jordan. It sas a great trip with some really fun sights, as shown below. It was definitely interesting, too...trying to avoid all the bad foods and bad men. We did it, though and even came back with some fun jewelry! (P.S. Sorry the layout's bad, I don't have time to do much playing around.)




The famous temple at Petra. It's huge!





Here I am up at the monastery view
in Petra looking out over Israel.










In the Mosque of Abdullah...





And guys making some really yummy pita bread.

West Jerusalem

So we took a walk around West Jerusalem yesterday.
Cool sights included:
A neat old Windmill in the middle of this pretty park. (Unfortunately it's not windy at all...)


And a cool view from the top of the YMCA tower.


And I have more fun pictures but the internet is slow. So that's all for now!

The Dead Sea


Well this was certainly fun. Here we are floating. Totally floating. It was so WEIRD! Like we were on another planet or something... We could even stand in the water!


And of course....the Dead Sea Mud is to DIE for... (I do look like a monster that could kill someone!)
