Or maybe not... But I felt very tempted today...
The world is so incredibly amazing! I absolutley love it! And I am so grateful that God had made all of these wonderful places. I am always astuonded at the amazing imagination that he must have. And I have been so incredibly blessed to see some really beautfiul things in my life. Wadi Mujib in Jordan is just another miracle that God has created for us to enjoy and wonder at as one of his marvelous creations.
Unfortunatly I don't have any of my own pictures from todays trip (the one above is courtsey of Google search) since 1) my camera is feeling a little sick and 2) it really wouldn't have been a good idea to bring a camera on this treck anyway...
It is about an hour and a half hike through a river until you reach a waterfall. The canyon is breathtaking with patterns on the wall in different coloured sand that looks like beautiful abrstact landscape painting. Being in Jordan just makes you appreciate all the water even more. It is the perfect temperture for hiking. Warm enough to trek through comfortably and cool enough to keep you going through the narrow canyon. At certain points we were scrambling up waterfalls with help of ropes and at other points we were lying on our backs floating down the river enjoying the scenerary. I only wish it could have lasted longer. There are other hikes they offer which include rock climbing and repelling (read: experiencing heaven) but to my very deep disappointment BYU rules don't allow students to join these hikes.
Today was magical though. I wish I could do this for the rest of my life; just enjoy being a part of nature and experiencing it hands on. This is definitly at the top of amazing things I have done in Jordan. Absolutely breathtaking, I was smiling the entire trip.
