Jordan 1

So here is a series of posts about Jordan. Wow. That is all I can say. You need to go. It is incredible. If you don't know about Petra. Look it up. You will be able to follow along much better.

This is a view into the actual incorporated city of Petra. A few hotels, common shops and restaurants. All in a small city build on a hill.

This is the Treasury, which is the main focus point of Petra. This was amazing. Something you really need to see in person.

As you can see behind me, these people build so many buildings and infrastructre into everything. There are thousands of buildings and much, much more. They have only uncovered about 10-15% of the city so far. Look how much you can see behind me. Wow. They were even able to separate rainwater and well water as it came into town in ditches.

This is the Monastery which is at the top of one of the peaks. It is over 800 steps plus a good amount of walking to get to. Well worth it I think.

This is the view very close to the Monastery. How cool.
