Holy Land Day One

So after lots of fun international travel, we finally reached our hotel outside of Amman Jordan on the Dead Sea.  Everyone is always worried about coming to the Holy Land, and we Americans tend to lump all Arab nations together in the "dangerous basket."

Today in the newspaper, the headline is about Jordan's continued participation and cooperation with NATO.  NATO countries are the USA, Britain and all of the Western powers.  Our guide is a Jordanian Catholic and he talks non stop about how much Jordan is a country of peace.  An Arab state yes, but a state of peace, closely aligned with the US.

Our hotel was as nice of a hotel as I have been in on these trips.  I have a spacious room with a balcony that overlooks the Dead Sea.  Our group is having a smashing time.

Tomorrow watch for pictures from Petra.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.

very nice room!!!
