Jericho...the Oldest City in the World...and we went there!

Jericho is said to be the oldest city in the world.  It was a 30 minute bus ride from Jerusalem and we went from 2700 ft. elevation to 850 ft. below sea level in that time.  Because Jericho is located  on the Jordan River flood plain next to a spring the city is like an oasis in the middle of nothing but desert.  hot as hot but very lush and green.

And Ron has had some of the most incredible classrooms don't you think!?!?!

We went on a brief walk above the Wadi Qilt, a dried up river bed.  It was so hot, so barren, so spectacular.

Just another day in the classroom!
