November 25th

November 25th
Petra
PETRA!!
We went to Petra and we saw Peter (somebody we met in Damascus)! We walked around with him for a while and we saw the Treasury. It was really cool but you couldn't go inside.
There always seemed to be a camel outside.
We wandered around lots of tombs. There was one kid that wouldn't leave us alone when we said we didn't want a donkey ride.

Petra Day 2
Today we saw the Monastery. I liked the sand stone. You crush it and there are tons of different colours - light blue, blue, red, curry, purple, white and lots of others. Light blue was probably the rarest colour because we only found it once but purple was everywhere.

Petra Day 3
Today we went to the High Place of Sacrifice, Palace of the Pharaoh's Daughter, museum, churches, and last but not least, the (drum roll) bathroom. I forgot, we also went to the Nabatean rubbish dump. We found lots of cool pottery shards. The Palace of the Pharaoh's Daughter was pretty cool too. There were some neat passageways.
My favourite was the Nabatean rubbish dump.
