A Little bit more Jordan, and Madrid!

Here are a few more pictures of our time in Jordan. On our last night in Jordan we spent some time at the Jordanian side of the Dead Sea. Our hotel was AMAZING! Very luxurious!

Now, we are in Madrid, Spain. We have seen some lovely sites but unfortunately are leaving for Seville early tomorrow morning!

After a quick flight from Israel, we landed in Jordan yesterday. I have to say, Jordan is exactly what I'd pictured the Middle East to look like, dry and sandy. Yesterday, we spent the day in Amman enjoying some of the sites. Last night we had the opportunity to partake in a cooking class to learn how to make some of the local cuisine. I have to say that last night has been one of the highlights of the trip so far. Today we travelled to Petra, one of the locations of one of the seven wonders of the world. Tomorrow, we are going to enjoy more of Petra and then will be off to the Jordanian side of the Dead Sea.

Israel

It's hard to believe that it's almost been one week since we left home! We've been in Israel for five days now and are having a fantastic time.

Kavan is happy and healthy! It's nice to see him with a bit of a tan, looking as he did prior to the chemotherapy. His eyebrows are almost completely grown back and the rest of his hair is slowly following. Sometimes he reminds me of a baby growing its first hair. Cute!

So far, we have spent time in Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Tiberias, the Golan Heights, the Dead Sea and the Sea of Galilee. I have to say that Israel is a beautiful country! I could use some cooler temperatures though! It is amazing how the heat zaps your energy, it might just be me though, despite everything he's been through Kavan has a TON of energy. Not quite sure how he does it!

Here are some photos from our first five days in Israel!

Much to my happiness, Israel is a cat dream land!
