Petra, The Treasury and The Monastery

Sunday Feb 6
Bam. Here it is, the Treasury. Nice shot eh? Notice how it is free of tourists? Ya baby.

Found the most incredible bakery. Yum! Baklava and treats. Off to the ruins. $75. Worth every penny. It was better than we could have imagined. I felt like Indiana Jones with a baby. Hiked to the monastery with Richard and Mom. Felt great! Arrived in Petra about 8:30am and left at 3. Began drive to dead sea on the most incredible amazing road- a curvy decent from atop a mountain with the sun setting through the clouds!!! One of the most spectacular ever. No pictures. Crap.  Arrived at dead sea and splurged on the buffet. Our best hotel on this trip. Beautiful! Mom and Richard walked around in the dark outside to check things out and the rest of us went to sleep.




All of these colors are sands found in Petra
