Petra

Hello party people. 

We just got back from Jordan, and it was fantastico. 

But before I go into Jordan, just appreciate these pictures of Jerusalem.

The sunset on our way home from a field trip-taken from the bus

I'm telling you guys, it's like I'm in Europe sometimes

Alright. So we went to Jordan. Here are a few pictures from the first two days.

This was where John the Baptist was beheaded. 

Then we went to Petra!! 

This is me just on my way to drink from the fountain of youth. Good thing Indie taught me to use the most simple chalice. Also, don't you just love that Jerusalem center issued water bottle backpack?

Then we rode camels. I'm sorry about my posture, Dad

We ended up riding camels twice. The second time I led a camel caravan of 4 and held the reigns and directed the camels. I'm a natural if I do say so myself. 

Then we went hiking hiking hiking

the stairway to heaven

Side note: They definitely didn't stress enough the need to wear actual, comfortable hiking clothes.

We did a lot of walking. My legs were shaking while in the line for lunch

The Monastery 

Petra is pretty much is the St. George of Jordan 

Lunch time is the best time

It was pretty much one of the most amazing places I have ever been.
