Petra

Well, Petra which has been my main reason for coming to Jordan, has been fantastic. Arrived a couple of days ago and went to visit the site in the moonlight. There were candles in sand along the Siq until the Treasury where we were entertained with Bedouin harp and flute playing.

Yesterday we toured the site with another Australian woman who is from Melbourne. Really enjoyed her company. She and I both had something else in common - we both bought fabulous silver jewellery (oh and I bought some dates; wonder if US customs will let them in.) Thought you might like to see what I see when I wake up each morning here!
