After Kerak we drove to a city called Madaba known for mosaics. We were tired and ready to check into our hotel. After pulling in we decided to leave everything in the car and check in first then come out to get our bags. Seconds after shutting the door we realized that Chris had set his car keys down next to the car seat to unbuckle Tristan. My purse was still in the car, where we had stashed it so that I didn't have to carry it around the castle.
The hotel called a locksmith unfortunately he had already left for the day, and wouldn't be able to help till morning. Chris and one of the Hotel staff got a metal hanger and went to work on the lock, with technique Terry taught him.
Heavenly Father was watching out for us yet again and within 30 minutes the car was unlocked.
This is the Greek Orthodox Basilica of Saint George that has the famous Madaba Map in the floor. The map was rediscovered in 1884, but it dates back to the 6th century AD. It is one of the oldest depictions of Jerusalem.
Bummer for us the church was having mass and we couldn't wait the 2 hours till it was over. We had to just look in through the door at the church and take a picture of the map's photo that was located outside.
If you can read the index;
1. Jerusalem, 3. Dead Sea, 4. Jordan river. etc.
