Near the Dead Sea, Jordan
Friday, October 25, 2013
We spent a lovely afternoon today with friends at their place overlooking the northern end of the Dead Sea. As the sun set, we went on a walk and had the chance to observe a group of voracious goats practically climbing an olive tree--and devouring it. I don't think they were eating olives (possibly they had already been harvested), but all the leaves and small branches were fair game...
The experience puts a new perspective on the tale of the "Three Billy Goats Gruff"...
