En route to Aqaba, a quick stop at the Dead Sea
ruthietoots:
The view to the south
ruthietoots:
The view to the north.... and me
ruthietoots:
Morning in Petra's Siq
ruthietoots:
You can hear the horses well before you see them
ruthietoots:
The Camel Train... imagine what the Siq must have looked like 2000 years ago
ruthietoots:
That much photographed spot
ruthietoots:
Guarding the Treasury
ruthietoots:
Hangin' out at the Treasury
ruthietoots:
I spent a while with this sweet fellow
ruthietoots:
Making my way up to more tombs -- and a great view!
ruthietoots:
Just a small part of Petra -- the main thoroughfare from the Treasury to Qasr al Bint
ruthietoots:
Now looking toward Qasr al Bint
ruthietoots:
Off the beaten trail took us over a bridge that made me feel sort of queasy
ruthietoots:
The Petra Papyri found in a Byzantine-era church
ruthietoots:
Ahmed in action!
ruthietoots:
The stockroom is also great advertising
ruthietoots:
Micah realizing where he is
ruthietoots:
The transport hub in front of Qasr al Bint -- especially for rides to the monastery
ruthietoots:
A moment before, I'd been looking at one of the less-visited parts of Petra
ruthietoots:
And on this side, here's another
ruthietoots:
The carving reminds me of Egypt
ruthietoots:
Time to head back
ruthietoots:
Qasr al Bint entry
ruthietoots:
A shepherd... perhaps
ruthietoots:
Ending my biggest visit to Petra
ruthietoots:
Student performances in English were a highlight of the graduation ceremony in Rahma
ruthietoots:
Ready to go on stage
ruthietoots:
These guys moved me to tears
ruthietoots:
Rahma's graduating girls
