Jesus came to John the Baptist . . .

We crossed into Jordan pretty early. We first went to Bethany Beyond the Jordan where the traditional site of Jesus' baptism is. (Left - The Jordan River). I got to touch the Jordan River and even got water out of it to take home. We sang and took pictures. It was really cool.
Then we went to Mount Nebo where Moses stood overlooking the land of promise. That was really cool and we had a great view of everything. Next we went to a Greek Orthodox Church in Madaba where there is a mosaic map on the floor from Roman times. It was partially destroyed, but Jerusalem is still there. (Right - the Mosaic floor in the Church at Madaba).
After lunch, we drove down to Petra and went to our hotel. After going to our rooms and eating dinner, we went out into town. There wasn't really anywhere to go, but we walked to some shops down the street. It was a nice relaxing time.
