Petra. Oh, my!

We emerged from yesterday's zero-visibility sandstorm (it nixed our jeep ride in Wadi Rum) into a gloriously clear, yet icily cold and windy day. But trust that weather is not a factor when what's on your agenda is Petra.

The mile-long walk down the Siq to the Treasury was amazing as we saw with our own eyes what the Nabateans wrought over 2,000 years ago, and we couldn't believe our eyes when we got there!

Our first glimpse through an opening in the canyon walls

And camels, wonderful, wonderful camels.
We agree with Mary: "You can never have too many pictures of camels!"
