Wadi Rum
After our two days in Petra, we took the bus down to Wadi Rum and took a "Jeep tour" in the desert to see the beauty of God's creation, as well as some ancient petrogliphs (that would be really really old grafiti). If you have seen the movie, or know the story of Laurance of Arabia, this is where he spent a good part of his time leading the Arab revolt against the Turkish. It is a beautyful area with red and golden sands and towering rock formations.
We did some hiking there, and visited a rock bridge or two and then spent the night with our new favorite Bedouin, Zedan.
Just a few of the spectacular sites we saw, which pictures cannot do justice to. The red sand, which the girls insisted on stealing, our "jeep" which was actually a Toyota, our camp site and more amazing rocks, but not nessicarily in that order.
Our digital camera decided to call it quits when we got to the Wadi, so we don't have nearly as many photos as we would like to have.
