Garber in Egypt: Just a few pictures from the Jordan Trip

On our way from the airport to the city where we would be working, we stopped off to get some food and ice cream. Sandi and Nathan (two people on the project team) are joined by a random balloon salesman.

The small city in Jordan where we were working.

The father of our host family with magruber ("upside down" food).

A local shepherd; first one that I've ever seen.

Had a chance to share my life with the local congregation.

One of the team members in a classically decorated Jordanian house.

The team hard at work (I must be on a break).

Each night a different family made us dinner. They all were presented family style on these huge platters. I'm going to miss the food.

Another fantastic meal.

Mansef night... the most fun I've had during a meal.

Another meal pick.

Then Moses lifted up his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod; and water came forth abundantly, and the congregation and their beasts drank. (Numbers 20:11)

One of the team members and I went exploring and got ourselves good and lost, but still had time for a picture on the edge of one of the cliffs.

The only entrance into the city of Petra was through this narrow path, making Petra impenetrable. The city was taken by the Romans when they cut off the water supply to the city and forced the natives to surrender.

The narrowest part of the path leading into the city.

The treasury, the most famous piece of Petra. After wandering through a narrow path in between two cliffs you come to this building carved into the side of a cliff, really incredible.

A better view of Petra from the top of a few columns.

On our way from Petra to the Dead Sea we had a tea stop.

Jordan countryside on the way to the Dead Sea.

Nothing like a good Dead Sea float...

Now Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is opposite Jericho. And the Lord showed him all the land... (Deuteronomy 34:1)
