Today was a mostly quiet day. The Sabbath in the Jewish tradition. We ventured from Eilat on a tour of Petra. To do so, we had to cross over into Jordan. This was a process that took nearly 3 hours from the time we were picked up at our apartment until we were dropped to our Jordan tour bus. Then a two hour drive into Petra.
The photo to the left is a picture of the "Treasury." You may recognize it from the 3rd Indiana Jones movie.
The people of Jordan are very nice. There are many Bedoin tribes still active and living in the area.
The ladies rode camels out of the city (for a fee of course). The men decided to walk out on their own. Good thing we traveled in a group of four! Enables us to be in two places at once!
We had a late lunch in a Jordanian restaurant which was a delicious buffet so we were able to try many different foods.
Then we returned back to our apartment for an early night!
Tomorrow we leave for Tiberius - Galilee. Long day on the road, but a great way to finish our trip!
Heidi,Chris, Mark & Betsy,

Heidi - I am amazed at all the different food you claim to be trying, knowing how fussy you can be. I'm proud of you (and envious). I can't wait to see ALL of the photos. Thank you so much for spending so much time sharing this fabulous trip with those of us left behind!
