baptism.

next we went to the baptismal site of Jesus. Im sure lots of people will think 'that has to be in Israel,' well, chances are, you're wrong. if you read the bible it says that he was baptized 'beyond jordan' which implies the East bank of the river or beyond. soooooo. we visited the river and the area that was probably the same area where John the Baptist kicked it.
so one of these pictures is me chillin by the river.
the other is a church from around the 1st century AD. many people claim that the river used to have floods that would fill in that area with water, and that this is in reality the baptismal site.
the other is just a dried up patch of dirt which shows the landscape nearby. no wonder john the baptist was rough, that fool and locusts.
