Red Sea, Dead Sea & Wadi Rum Desert, Jordan

Thank you guys for your continued thoughts and prayers for my grandpa; he’s improving a bit each day. Which is of no surprise, as he is the pillar of strength in our family 🙏🏼

As for me, I spent last night in the Jordanian desert at Wadi Rum in a small cabin-like structure. We ate food cooked in the SAND. Really, the lamb and chicken were cooked in the ground under a mound of sand. Some crazy shit right there.

In Egypt, I was on the Red Sea. In Jordan, it was the Dead Sea. The common denominator here is that both locations, are a LIE. The Red Sea, was some of the clearest BLUE waters I’ve ever seen. And the Dead Sea- I didn’t find one goddamn DEAD thing there. I looked. The fuck is up? So disappointing.

At the Dead Sea, when you look across you can see the countries of Palestine and Israel. But we couldn’t go to either as their borders are currently closed. Fuckers. However, we were able to go to the site where Moses croaked AND where John the Baptist baptized Baby Jesus- because both of those locations are in the country of Jordan. First, we had to get a permission slip from the military to visit the baptism site because it borders Israel. We saw the oldest city on earth, Jericho, which is located in the country of Palestine. Though we couldn’t go to the country, we viewed it from a hilltop in Jordan.

No need to worry about mosquitos here, but holy SHIT, the flies. So.Many.Flies. They’ll drive you to murder. I killed 26 with my bare hands alone.
