The only thing we did today was visit Petra. But it was a long, full day, and well worth it. I took about five thousand photos... so how do I narrow them down?
Our tour guide, Tito, had to stay in Israel, because Jordan does not receive Israelis very well (and Jews are not permitted to live in Jordan. Ironic, given the number of Arabs living in Israel as Israeli citizens is about a million and a half... but that is for a future post). So anyway, our Jordanian tour guide was Michel, and he did a great job.

| The rock formations are awesome! |

Back at the hotel, I was exhausted and went straight to bed!
