By the time we reached Jericho, we were tired and hungry.
We ate at a gift shop / restaurant, then we headed up to Mount of Temptation where Jesus is believed to have fasted for forty days and forty nights.
We walked a ways, and then we were picked up by a jeep /van to take us way up.
High above us sits the Mount of Temptation Monastery that is built into the mountain.
Wow!
What a day!
What an experience!
What a dream come true!

| Although the picture is not great, it is a replica of the city of Jericho carved out of rocks. |
