| Crossing into Jordan -- the Allenby crossing is named after Edmund Allenby -- from the time this area was colonized by the British (you may remember him if you saw the movie, Lawrence of Arabia. |
The Jordan River -- where Jesus is thought to have been baptized.
 |
| There had been a lot of rains and flooding in the winder of 2018-19 and some the meeting pavilions had been damaged. |
 |
| A lot of other church groups came to the Jordan River to be baptized where Jesus was. I think they were a little disappointed that the water was so low when we were there in March. |

| A cute site in Jordan on our way to the Dead Sea....maybe a teacher with his students? |

| Me (in the blue swim cap) and my Sister Jill, floating in the Dead Sea. |

| John and me at "The Jungle" restaurant, across the street from our hotel in Amman, Jordan |
 |
| Le Grand Hotel lobby in Amman, Jordan |
 |
| This is the ceiling in our Amman hotel room....after a bit of puzzling, I figured out that this is the marker for the direction to Mecca...so one will know in which direction to pray. |

| The slot canyon on the way to Petra |
 |
| So, it was just 5 bucks to get on the camel for a bit of a ride and some photos...well, my dreams just came true. |
 |
| Flying over the Read Sea and the Sinai Peninsula on our flight from Amman to Cairo |
 |
| We were on our own for dinner the first night in Cairo so we walked over the mall adjacent to The Intercontinental Hotel. Good grief, it was 8 stories of American-style commercialism...yikes! And, because Roger had been wanting an actual "cooked pizza" since we were in Amman, we picked up a Papa John's pizza and took it back to our hotel room. |
