Along the way we came to find out that we could also visit Jesus's baptismal site and decided to that too while in the area. None of us are super religious but found that it would be intyyueresting to see anyway. We had just missed the bus and would only need to wait a few minutes for the next one.
Soon enough we were on the bus with a small group of people and our tour guide. The actual baptismal ended up being very different from what I had imagined but it was cool to see the ruins. The tour ended on the Jordan river where we could see people on the other side of the river being baptized. That was really neat to see how other people who are religious had taken this trip to this area for a very specific reason.
Afterwards we headed over to the Dead Sea. Swimming in the Dead Sea is very relaxing but also hard. The salt of the water keeps you floating but also very easily flips you around. Transitioning from the Dead Sea to a pool is also very difficult because you expect that the water will keep you afloat but it does not.
After hanging out in the sun we decided that it was time to find some food and head back into Amman. Afterwards we headed out via taxi to go to happy hour.
