Waking up in Jordan on Day 2, we prepared for a day trip to the Baptism Site of Jesus (or, as our guide pronounced it: "Cheesus") and then to the Dead Sea. The baptism site is on the Jordan River, which runs along the border of Israel and Jordan. There was a lot of military presence in the area. Apparently, it was only opened to the public in the last few years because they didn't even want people visiting the area! Now there are several different churches under construction on the Jordan side of the river for those visiting this Holy Site.
The baptism site is right at the bottom of those stairs behind me...

Pete found some kittens in one of the gift shops - much to his dismay we had to leave this little guy there.
