Day 4

Itinerary/Sites to Visit:

1.Roman Theater

2.Market for Shopping

3. Jordan River

Us girls and Chadwick (with his coke :) )

Spices at the market

Of all the places we visted in Jordan, the Jordan river was my favorite. Despite the EXTREME heat, I enjoyed my time there immensely. The peace that I felt here was incredible and it was wonderful to read the account of the Savior's baptism and ponder those events right at the possible site. I feel so blessed to be able to visit these miraculous places.

Does this treasury look familiar to anyone?

 Watch Indiana Jones and you will know what I am talking about...

Actually, this so-called treasury is an ancient tomb...so spectacular!

Ancient Staircase?

Beautiful arches at Shobak Castle

JORDAN: Day 1

Itinerary/Sites to Visit:

Mount Nebo - Where Moses was given a view of the promised  land.

 Madaba

Machaerus - Palace of Herod where John the Baptist was beheaded.

Mt. Nebo - Don't look at the brass serpent!! (Except if I remember correctly, if the people looked at the brass serpent they were healed, so I think that is why I am only covering one eye ;). I think we all are in need of a little healing, right?)

Elise and Me by a cool statue on top of Mt. Nebo

Church at Madaba (My other Madaba pictures wouldn't load :( )

Machaerus - it was a long hike to the top...and hot

If you look closely you can see the columns at the very top.

I sure love the Chadwicks
