Hello again. I thought I would finish up my thoughts on Day 9....
We had just walked for 35 minuted though the siq (the narrow passage) leading to Petra. We got to the bottom and the tour guide says, "take 5 minutes and look around." Now, I have never been to Petra before, but I knew 5 minutes was not near enough time. In fact, to see the full expanse of Petra would take days. So I asked if I could walk down as see the theatre. the tour guide pointed down the way a bit and said, "when you are done, head back up to the top."
I do not know if you know this, but I am in my element when in "explorer mode". Shannon keeps me balanced. We ventured off to see what we could find in the limited time we had. If you click the link above, you can see more of the full expanse that Petra offers the average hiker. We made it to see the theatre and some dwellings, but we did not have time to go up the gorge to the top and see the Church structure. It was an amazing site.
About and hour later, we made our way back up the siq, and into the nearby restaurant for lunch. Shortly, we back on the bus and ready for the 2 hour drive back to Israel. No rest for the weary though, I had to take a final and pack for our departure in the morning. I will have time to rest on the plane! LOL!
