Hey guys it's Laura here again! This is day five part...3? Let's jump in (ah puns) We went to the Temptation Restaurant in Jericho for lunch. Jericho is recognized as the oldest city in the world. We went onto Tell Es-Sultan which is where the original city of Jericho was. The archaeology in this tell is cut like a birthday cake, showing 26 layers of strata as old as 8500 BC. Then we saw the spring of Elisha (2 Kings 2:19-22) And a sycamore tree like Zaccheus climbed. We got back onto the bus and headed toward the Dead Sea, but first we drove past the Mount of Temptation and there's a monastery on top now. We enjoyed floating in the Dead Sea. And slathered several thousand dollars worth of mud on our bodies. After washing off the mud and salt, we rode the bus an hour & half, returned to our hotel near the Jaffa Gate, and went out walking in the Christian Quarter.
Love to all, Laura
