Petra

On the way to Petra, which is in Jordan.

Camels grazing, as we might see cattle here at home.

A home by the highway, simple and unpretentious.

You can google Petra and, while you're at it, google Nabataeans.

Here we are at Petra. I cannot describe its effect upon me. Perhaps the pictures will show you.

Doesn't look like much from here.

Or here.

We're just getting started.

 But you can see there was some sophisticated society here who knew how to use the rocks that surrounded everything.

More to follow. Maybe tomorrow.
