JERICHO

We visited Jericho today...offically the lowest city in the world.
Overlooking the Judean wilderness. It really was a wilderness and is amazing to think that people used to and still do wander through these lands cause literally there is nothing there. Yet it was so beautiful. It was raining today, which is very rare in these parts of the land.
Brooke and Natalie at the top of the Mount of Temptations. There is a monestary built into the mountains and we were able to hike up the mountain and look around. There in the monestary is the stone in which they believed to have been the same stone that Satan tempted Jesus to turn into bread after his 40 day fast. See the two movies below.
Inside the Monestary. It was really really neat.

The Monestary literally built into the side of the mountain.
Overlooking Oasis Jericho. Here we saw ruins from way back when.
