I wanted to post a couple of short videos. The first occurred at the end of the ninth day. Our last stop was at a bazaar to shop for souvenirs, and as luck would have it within the lot we found a camel.
The second video was a day spent in the West Bank, including the River Jordan at the site where John the Baptist baptized Jesus. The videos are self-explanatory.
After the R. Jordan, I jumped the fence and went native, assuming the name Omar Shaunif, recalling how handsome my mother thought Omar Sharif in not only Lawrence of Arabia, but all his movies. My thought was to disappear into the wilderness, to follow the footsteps in my own Imitation of Christ; sadly, I was convinced to rejoin the group and pursue my Imitation of Christ in the more conventional ways of good deeds, obeying the Golden Rule, growing in Faith, and the like.
It may be that Sue would have welcomed my foray into the wilderness, despite the striking similarity to Omar Sharif, as her voice I did not hear in the chorus calling me back.
Side by side comparison.
Just say’in.
