Baptismal Site of Jesus

Stated the day off at the official baptismal site of Jesus.  At least from the Jordanian side of the river it is considered the official site.  If touring Israel, I'm sure they have a different place they take tourist.  However, based on the story of Tell Mar Elyas (see previous post), this seems like it could be the real deal.

The highlight here was standing on the east bank of the Jordan River with Israel only 10 feet away.  Well, actually, the West Bank.
