Mt. Nebo

the first trip that we went on got around to a few different places.
the first of them was Mt. Nebo. according to the bible this is the place from which Moses identified the Holy Land after the Israelites had wandered in the wilderness for 40 years. i really enjoyed it up there. its got a special feeling to it. at the same time its interesting to think that while moses climbed that mountain and identified that place, he never did cross the jordan river or go into the holy land. nope, he, like i, just kicked it in Jordan.
the body of water over my shoulder is the Dead Sea (which you should visit in your life. i think its awesome) and the other foto is the restored mosaics of a Byzantine Church that still stands on top of Mt. Nebo.
