Arrival in Israel
Wow! We do so much and I'm usually exhausted at the end of the day. We crossed the border into Israel today. Jordan was fun! We visited Petra, which was amazing. You can't see it until you're in it. We walked along the narrow canyon and after about an hour it was just there. Then yesterday morning we began the drive to the border, stopping along the way to visit Mount Nebo, where Moses saw the promised land before he died. The border crossing this afternoon went smoothly and we are now staying at a guest house in Israel. We're only here for a night, which is too bad. The grounds are really beautiful so we strolled around a little before dinner, watching the sunset and eating grapes from the vine in the gardens. We're sad to leave this morning, but we have a pretty exciting day ahead of us!
