Day One Jordan

A few photos to accompany the Jordan, Part One post.
First is sign for Dead Sea
Second is the clean up at the entrance for public swimming (Dead Sea)
Third is a general photo of the Dead Sea from Jordan (that's Israel West Bank in the background)
Fourth is the Baptism site of Jesus. The Jordan River is a mere trickle of what it once was due to Agriculture. It has also changed course slightly, as rivers do over time. I must admit that it was not “touristy” at all and is a serious archaeological site. The tour was lead by archaeologists that had worked/ are working on the site.
Fifth photo is the river as is today. As this shot was taken, the guide pointed out the sound of Jackals in the distance. It was a bit of a shivers up the spine sound.
