Jordan Jill trip March 2023

 


 St George Greek orthodox church. 

1884 when Christian builders came across the remnants of a Byzantine church on their construction site. Among the rubble, having survived wilful destruction, fire and neglect, the flooring they discovered wasn’t just another mosaic but one with extraordinary significance: to this day, it represents the oldest map of Palestine in existence and provides many historical insights into the region.







I was able to sneak away with Natalia and Annaliesa for a trip to Jordan to see Petra and hit the Turkish spa.  It was delightful. 


The spa.


Petra
The bank.  It is the old runes clear in the back and up a bunch of stairs.  Totally worth it.





































You enter in this super cool slot canyon. 










This is the treasury where Indiana Jones was filmed.
