I GOT TO RIDE A CAMEL!
Probably the most fun experience I have had so far. Katie and I got one of the best ab workouts we have had the whole trip because we couldn't stop laughing. Someone caught this candid shot right as the camel was laying down so we could get off- you get rocked when they sit suddenly. You don't realize how tall camels are until you are sitting on one!
Did I mention we rode the camels in...Petra! I can now officially say I have seen the 4th world wonder! And yeah, the scarf was necessary- just for the full cultural experience of course :) We walked down the path to the treasury and when we got close, we all hummed the Indianna Jones theme song (The Last Crusade was filmed there). It was quite the site to see! This picture is of the monastery which is a pretty intense hike up the mountain (837 stairs I believe). There was an incredible view of the steep cliffs and deep ravines in front of me.

In the Monastery. David and Katie are two of my favorites :)
Who knew you could experience a piece of Rome in Jordan?! The tour bus stopped and I really felt like I had stepped into Europe. This is Jerash, where Rome built a big city between 63 BC-325 AD with
theaters, temples, and all the works. It is sometimes referred to as the city of a thousand columns. It is
hard to see the splendor of the whole city. This picture is just a small fraction of it. I have other
pictures with Zeus's temple and the theaters, but I can only post so many!
Oooo I Love this! I Love this! I remember Jordan, but we fo the love didn't I get to go to Petra?!? I love seeing your pictures. Love your stinky face! muah :*
