After a lovely night in our specacular hotel we are off to Petra, the red rock city. It is beyond description with the winding path (called The Siq). The canyon of rock swirls high above us and winds down a path to a place called The Treasury. We have a group photo there with the Post newspaper. Hope we will get published!
Petra is known as one of the 7 Wonders of the world, and it has certainly impressed all of us. We have 4 hours there of treking, horse back riding and camel riding; some of our group took horse drawn carriages as well. In addition there was a LOT of walking and story telling of the peoples who first settled in the area.
I loved riding the camel but I was not warned that when the camel sits down the front goes down to the ground first and you must hang on for dear life or go .,.. over tea kettle to the ground! The horse back riding went better and I remembered my old days of riding in marshall potato fields in ancaster many long years ago.
A place and day of memories, never to be forgotten!
