The Jordan Crossing

Getting across the Jordan River was harder than when God stopped up the river to let the children of Israel pass. We tried to cross at the Allenby Bridge but they said "no cross here, good bye, thank you, see you later." Apparently, you can only cross 100 kilometers northy near Bet Shean. Ben was waiting just across the Jordan waiting for us--but we couldn't get to him. So off both of us went north til we.could cross near Bet Shean--which in and of itself was a model in state burreaucratic inefficiency. I loved it.
We're with Ben and Jonas and Shae and headed to Ailjun--these kids are amazing, riding in the hot sun, waiting at border crossings, eating falafas and melted chocolate eggs.
More later, jay
