I'm a little late getting this posted, but here are a few pics from our trek to Jordan.

a quantum physics experiment perhaps?

walking the valley of the crescent moon

the first peek you get of the treasury (we had a guide for part of our trek, he made Rory close his eyes for a minute and then told him to turn around to see the view - while he played Indiana Jones from his cell phone. It was kind of funny.

the treasury (no, there are no transformers hiding there, i checked)

image
then we drove 2,000 feet below sea level to the dead sea (the water bottles in the car were actually crushed from the pressure change!)

the salt content is so intense it's actually hard to stay 'standing'...but you don't want your face near the water because the tiniest drop of your lip burns like a son of a pup!

image
once i found my 'balance' i managed to stand up...this is in 10 feet of water, 'standing' completely still

image
and of course we played in the famed mud
