A Wooly Flock, Highway 65, 'the Dead Sea Highway', Jordan.

            From Jerash to the Dead Sea (first time). 

I had to go three times to the Dead Sea, which has nothing to do with sea, it's a lake.

In this photography is the first time I try to see the sunset. I miscalculated the time and arrived after sunset. In the dark it doesn't work.
The second time, oddly enough, it started to rain.
The third time, it was perfect. With sunset, diving and all.

But making this trip three times (last time was from the capital Amman) was a waste of time. 
60.3 km on a bad road and with military barriers from Amman. I had to cut other tours.

In 2018:

The roads are bad. There is almost no signage in English. They are in Arabic. Military barriers in all locations. GPS? As if there was internet signal. I understood as adventure.

They hardly use the arrow keys on the car to change lanes. Lighthouse is decoration. Crosswalk is an attempt at decoration. The first day of driving the rental car was horrifying. I got used to it.
