Went over to Petra today in Jordan. Long ways out there, so was good to go on a tour bus, especially to get through the border. Have to go out the Israel border and then go in to the Jordan border.
Quite interesting how people that used to live in Petra area carved things out of rock. Even an amphitheater carved out of rock-pink beautiful rock. The theater could seat maybe 6000 people. Of course tombs were carved too. There was still some snow out there left from last week. We had a great meal after our walking tour into Petra. I sat at a table with a teacher from Brazil.
Got a new roommate tonight. She is from Germany. We have a great bakery across from the Hostel–cinnamon rolls, apple turnovers, and several other kinds. They don’t seem to use msg. Really good and fresh out of their ovens!
Take care,
Caryl
