Jordan
We walked across the border into Jordan today - Judy is still flying high over swimming with the dolphins yesterday. We hired a cab at the border, and drove 2 hours to get to Petra. Google PETRA when you get a minute. We are at an abandoned Arab village in a Wadi that was turned into a Guest village - Taybet Zaman. The locals had no air conditioning 1000 years ago, so they built this into the rock hillside. Our buddy from Galilee stayed here with his family and said "you've got to go there". Good advice so far. Tonight we are heading into "little Petra" to get the lay of the land. The manager said "let me fix you up with a friend ..." which is always a little scary. Taking a cab down into the valley to walk around, and then meet a fellow who will set up a bar-b-que at a cave opening in the desert where we will eat and watch the sun go down laying on a rug. Hmmm ....
