It's a Small, Small World


Today after visiting Jerash, we travelled to Salah al Din's (aka "Saladin") castle in Ajlun, Jordan. From the top of the castle we could see the lots of hills and mountains in the smoggy background. My guide Samir pointed in one direction (top photo) and told me that in that direction the mountains in the background were in Israel. (And, if the conditions were clearer, I could have seen the Biblical Sea of Galilee.)

Then he pointed in another direction and told me that you could also see part of the Golan Heights in Syria (middle photo).

The bottom photo is of me at about the highest accessible point at the top of the castle.

Wow! Cuteness of Gregg on a castle! Also: so awesome that you're in Jordan, a place I would love to know.
