On to Jericho

More barrenness....
We left the Dead Sea swimming area and drove up the west coast of the Dead Sea.

Not sure how I got this photo, but it makes me think of what the shepherds might have seen that night near Bethlehem.

We didn't have time to stop at Qumran, where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found, but we drove by it, and many more caves indistinguishable from that one.

We finally saw sheep and a shepherd!  We had been expecting a scene like this from the first day.

And at last! Camels in the wild!  We had to drive to the outskirts of Jericho to see these.

This was our day for animals!  As we were (need I say it?) lost in Jericho this herd of goats crossed in front of our car.


You'd almost think those ears would keep you from hearing anything.
