moab


clarissa and i like going to moab.  in portuguese, one would say that it is "astral".  i think it can be a spiritual place.  when i took my parents there, my father wanted to know the origin of this strange word.  apparently, it has biblical roots; it was an area east of the jordan river.  funny to learn that the ancient people of moab were considered incestuous and idolatrous.
