Trip of a Lifetime - Day 6


This morning we will drive to Madaba, the sight of a mosaic map of Jerusalem from the Byzantine era. From there it is on to Mt Nebo to stand where Moses stood to view the Promised Land. We then continue to the border crossing and leave Jordan for Israel. Once across the border we head north to Bet Shean which is the city where the Philistines hung the decaptiated bodies of Saul and his sons after the battle that claimed their lives. The day ends with a baptismal service in the Jordan River.
