I spent 3 hours in Petra. I only saw 1/4 of the site! There was so much more there to see I just couldn't do it all! This is most certainly a place that I will come back to in my lifetime. It was 3 hours of walking mind you- and kind of a funny thing. I was so excited to get in the city that I didn't realize I was going down, down, down, and down, and down more. Until I started to walk back. The whole thing was uphill! Uphill 100 meters- or 360 feet incline!!! UGH! I had to stop like 5 times on the way back :-) It reminded me of a time when I was on my bike as a kid and I was AMAZED how easy it was to get to the corner, and then I turned around to have a thirty mph wind blowing in my face and crying the entire way home as I was fighting the wind. What did we learn? If it's really easy now, it's going to be hell later.
The other thing I learned is that as much as I can sometime become reclusive, I need to push myself to get out there. I almost didn't do this! I am 3 1/2 hrs away and I almost gave up this once in a lifetime experience! How many times does this happen? (You- the person who like the Art Institute- it's only 3 1/2 hrs away! Just saying :-)
As I got back to the Siq, I had to turn around and get one more picture. It was the best picture I shot all day.
