Amman, Wadi Musa and Petra, JORDAN!!!

BEAUTIFUL sunrise through the plane window as we were flying to Amman.
Amman from the air.
Royal Jordanian is a great company and it was a good flight.
View from our hostel room in Amman.

Waiting in Amman Bus station to head off to Wadi Musa/Petra.
This is details on our bus driver who ended up falling asleep while driving and swerving into the other traffic and just about hitting head but we woke him just in time!! I was SO wanting to get off that bus right then and there, but managed the 20 minutes more to our hostel. :) THANKS FOR PRAYERS!!!
A lady at our hostel... such mysterious eyes!
Sunset from our hostel room in Wadi Musa setting behind Petra.
Our first day there in Wadi Musa we were walking the streets in the evening and almost got run over by 20 cars all with their horns held down and everyone yelling... realized it was a wedding and ended up being asked to come in and celebrate with them and see. WOW it was VERY interesting... no pictures we allowed but managed to click this REALLY BAD quality pic without flash of the bride totally covered from head to toe and her groom sitting by her. It was really an interesting wedding for sure and nothing was common to a western wedding except that the bride wore white. :) lol
Wadi Musa at night. BEAUTIFUL!
Finally up early and walking to Petra with our Israeli friends.
Our first glimpse! :)
The Treasury, this is where some of Indiana Jones was filmed.
Our neat Israeli friends, Eithan and Tamar.
The camels were totally COVERED in flies! YUCK!
Everyone is so busy. :)
This was a huge vase filled with ALL NATURAL Petra sand! The natural colors and amazing creativity was AWESOME and you DEFINITELY paid for it... this vase went for $3000.00 USD!
YEAH for camels.
TOTALLY amazing!

Cute little girl selling postcards in Petra.
A ceiling of one of the tombs... no paint, just all natural sands and rocks! AMAZING!
This pretty plant is sure hardy to be able to live up in the solid rock and sand of Petra with hardly any rain!
My man acting like Samson! :P hehe
Tourists in the Petra Valley.

YEAH! I finally got to ride a camel and no better place than to ride it in Petra!
