Petra’s buildings are carved into the rose colored sandstone. The slot canyon was very similar to those of Southern Utah. Some of the group rode into the area on horseback while others chose to walk. We arrived at the treasury, one of the most spectacular ruins, to the music of Indiana Jones.
We continued to explore and viewed tombs, an amphitheater, and dwellings. We met up with a young Bedouin girl named Ayat who worked her magic to take photos and sell rocks. Several other young children joined in and sold post cards and donkey rides.

Hey Jamie! I WANT TO BE WITH YOU! Please take me next time :) Your boys are still alive! I saw them at church today. Christopher's shirt was buttoned up wrong, it was awesome. They are coming tomorrow and we are heading up to the zoo and the fountains to play in when they get hot. Both boys passed their swimming levels! Only Sam and Blyss passed in my family, and Blyss is not even suppose to be in the preschool level, so I won't move her on to level 1. Miss you lots. Have a great time. Becky
I strongly disagree with chicken nuggets being royal.
