on jordan's stormy banks

Most of today was spent driving. Not that it's bad. It brought us to some pretty cool places.

We left Tiberius early this morning after staying there for two nights. We stopped for a little bit in Dan and took some pictures f a stone arch that was around in Abraham's day. That was interesting. Then we went on to Caesarea Philippi to walk around some. A lot of this was more interesting than I make it sound.

We also went to see the Hermon Springs, which was really beautiful. I got some good pictures there.

We are lunch on the Jordan River. Well, next to it. A lot of us wanted to put our feet in the water, so we did. The mud was slippery, and a lot of people slipped. One person fell. Not me.

The last thing we did today was go to the West Bank to see Jericho. The West Bank is a lot closer to what I had always imagined Israel to be. Very sandy. There wasn't much to see in Jericho but it was still nice to be there. I did see some peacocks.

The hotel we're at in Jerusalem is super nice. I think it's a 4 star. The dinner we had tonight was outrageously good, mostly because tomorrow is the Sabbath. I had a full plate of meat, bread, and potatoes and then 2 plates of dessert. Very good.

Very good.
