Indiana Jones Date
We went to visit our friends in Jordan over the long weekend. With the help of them and their nanny we got to go explore Petra for a day child-free. Petra is where the last scenes in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade took place and I can see why this was the perfect place for an adventure film. It was spectacular!

| "The Treasury" - over 2000 years old |

| The Amphitheater |
 |
| "The Monastery" - lies high up on the mountain. We hiked, but there were many Bedouins with teams of donkeys eager to sell us a ride. |

| For true perspective on the size of this structure, check out that man at the entry. It looks like a simple entry, but at the base is a head-high wall that must be scaled to get in. |
Wow, no wonder you didn't call us this past weekend. I'm surprised Rob didn't dress-up like Indiana...he use to when he was little, besides Luke Skywalker and Batman...he was one of Rob's favorite charaters.
Seriously amazing!!!!
So, sometimes I forget you guys are living there living there, and not just doing a study abroad at BYU-Jerusalem.
Umm, wow is all I have to say. That is awesome and I am so jealous. I've always wanted to go there. At least ever since I saw Indiana Jones.
Wow... that is incredible! You guys are living the life!
I'm super jealous. I've wanted to go there forever!
Wow! That is amazing! The color of the rock reminds me of Southern Utah. You guys get to see the coolest things!
