Petra

This was actually our first night in Jordan, before we got to Petra. We stopped the buses to get out and see the beautiful sunset.

Petra has beautiful colored rock, and this is a good example

The walk to the Monastery was taking a toll on these two ladies.

We stopped on our way up to the Monastery to take advantage of the beautiful view

Yes... the Monastery again.

The view of the end of the world

Royal Tombs

The Treasury! Although no Harrison Ford

Doctor and Sister Peterson are the cutest and most adventurous couple I've ever met! They went all the way to the Monastery, past that to the lookout point, and then we found them like this--walking out holding hands. I hope I'm like Sister Peterson some day. She is the sweetest and most positive lady I've ever met.

I took a horse ride out.
