A "Saturday" Drive

Since Saturday is the Sunday here, I took a nice solitary drive through Madaba and down to the Dead Sea. It was really great to remember how incredibly lucky I am to be in such a scenically beautiful place.  I am IN the promised land.  I still can't believe it some days.

Driving away from downtown Madaba.

The view was so beautiful I had to stop by the side of the road for photographs.

 This is actually a picture from Mt. Nebo overlooking the promised land. The lighting really seemed divine.

 Another picture from Mt. Nebo, the other side, toward Jordan.  I think the Christians are building a chapel here.

More beautiful lighting as I reach the top of a hill overlooking the Dead Sea.

 Some friendly sheep by the side of the road.

Sheep with an unreal backdrop.
 
Donkey crossing!
