Petra!

July 21st was the birthday of Micah and Nathan my two oldest sons, and my first visit to Petra. I wish that they could have been there with me to explore this fascinating place. Petra is an unbelievable site. It is large and difficult to explore, but worth the effort.


At the entrance one is greeted by three kings. :-)




There is some commercialism outside of the entrance since the movie from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was filmed there.

The Treasury appears at the entrance. It is stunning in size and design.
