I want thank all of you who gave me feedback in response to "Is anyone out there...".
We are off to Jordan today for our last big excursion. In many ways, outside of the sites associated with Jesus, the things I have most looked forward to seeing are in Jordan: the Madaba Map and the "lost city" of Petra. The map has become and obsession for me while I have been here, but Petra has been a life long obsession since I first saw a picture of it in an encyclopedia when I was about 6 or 7. Needless to say, I am very ecstatic about this trip.
My Blackberry will not work in Jordan and I am not sure what the internet situation is at our hotel, so this may be my last communique until Monday. Shalom and Salaam. See you on the other side of Petra!

Enjoy Jordan, especially Petra. I am sooo jealous. It is a dream of mine, too, to someday visit Petra.
ReplyDeleteHi, I wanted to say too that I am following your blog closely and really appreciate the reflections & pictures --- from modern scenes like the souks, to the churches, mosques and then the nature. The photo of the Sea of Galilee from the place where Jesus prepared breakfast for his disciples stands out - so serene.
ReplyDeleteYou are seeing a lot! Have a great trip to Jordan. ---Olga
