Wadi Rum and Petra

I don't really have anything new to say but a picture is worth 1,000 words, right?

We arrived at the desert nature preserve of Wadi Rum and were given an off road tour.
Despite the harsh environment, many people lived there.


Lawrence of Arabia

My climbing crew, triumphant at the top.

The sandstone provided great traction but broke off in you hand sometimes.
We explored unti the sun went down...
... and the moon came up.
The next day was Petra
It was alot of walking
I still don't think I saw it all
The Monastary
Ignoring all signs and the shouts of the merchants we climbed to the top of the Monastary
Then we headed home

  1. Great pictures Wes. I can't believe you went to the top of the Monastary. Granddad would be proud!

  2. Did you see Indiana Jones while you were there?
