Weekend Getaway to Madaba and Hot Springs



 Our noble steed -- the rental car that would take us on our journey.  Notice our friend James' shirt (go Bears!)
 Soledad bravely volunteers to drive out of Amman


 we stopped on the way to take some pictures by the Dead Sea




 At the extremely hot springs!  Again Soledad proves her bravery -- I did one 2-second dunk and I was done!

 Lounging in the shade is more my style.  By the way, they aren't sunburned -- the redness is from the water.
 Madaba -- The church of John the Baptist
 Right before you-know-what happens to him :(

 On top of the bell tower after a nerve-wracking climb!



 Pretty sure this is his real head.



 Entering St. George's Church -- on the floor is an ancient mosaic map of the holy land
Right before getting yelled at for our abhorrent PDA


Here are some pics Soledad took on her far superior camera
