... zu werden und gibt nicht annähernd wieder, wie schön es aussah. Wir kommen gegen 21:45 Uhr ins Bedouinendorf, wo Esel aus großen Müllkontainern fressen. Kurz darauf erreichen wir auch die Stadt Petra, fahren aber direkt durch nach Wadi Musa, wo unser Hotel ist.<br><br>Nach dem Einchecken trinken wir noch Tee mit 4 Gästen aus Israel. Als die schlafen gehen, fahren Erik und ich nocheinmal nach Petra in der Hoffnung vielleicht ein Hotel zu finden, wo wir ein Bier trinken k ...

... s threw rocks down) but they eventually got through the defenses. Rather than conceding defeat and years or slavery the Israeli people commited mass suicide. Only 10 people lived to tell the tale.<br><br>The ruins themselves were a bit dissapointing but I think the place is justafiably impressive because of this history lesson I just gave and the views over to the dead sea - really remarcable.<br><br>After a cople of hours of walking around in the crazy heat Greg and I walked down ...

... of the communities are small. These names cover the walls. The two exhibits combined: the zen cones and the quarry of communities somehow help your mind grasp the unexplainable, the unfathomable number of human lives and stories brought to an end by hatred and intolerance.<br><br>This sounds overwhelming and it is. Either Masada or Yad Vashem would have been plenty of grief and tragedy for any one week; we did it in a day. But it was a day worth remembering.

... find Um Ar Rassas. We drove and drove, eventually finding ourselves at the end of the road, almost at the King&#8217;s Highway. Oops...not where we wanted to be...<br><br>We turned around, I trying as best I could to navigate with our dubious map, the boys looking out for street signs. Eventually, after retracing our steps, turning around, then getting more lost than ever, we spotted a local, and I convinced Danny to slow down so I could wind down the window and ...

... bus. I guess this can happen in such a small country. Instinct told me to avoid them, as part of the "keeping the distance" theme between commander and soldier, and I did so. However, walking to the other end of the station, I inadvertently crossed paths with one of them. She looked at me for a few seconds as if something was registering in her memory. Again instinctively, I kind of smiled goofily back at her. I'll probably get punished for this when I return to the base.

... but from what I read it did not really inspire me and I know the others felt the same so we headed out to back to Amman and the traffic. Opposite my hostel is a ally with lots of cheap eateries so I had again bread, falafel and humus all good for only a pound but again I am consuming so much bread its not good, but when in Rome as they say! Anyway tomorrow leave for Syria in the morning so as I do at the end of ...

... to the hotel to get warm, no hot water or heat yet. They keep saying in 2 hours it will be on. We decide to go to the Kings Restaurant for pizza. Nothing else in the area appeals to us. The hot water is now warm, when we leave Len say we would like the heat to be on in the room, the man says in an hour, Len says please have it on when we come back. The pizza was good. When we get back to the hotel, the register is warm, it is going to be a nice warm night.

... before killing themselves to avoid falling into the hands of the Romans. The Romans has spent many months builing a great seige ramp up the mountain side so that the walls could be breached and the forteress taken. The Jews inside saw the ramp progress and knew the end had arrived when a hole was punched in the wall with a battering ram. That prompted their decision to kill themselves rather than be taken alive. As we sat near the spot where the shards were ...

... trip we hiked Ein Gedi, an oasis with beautiful springs and plantlife right off of the Judean Desert. Such an incredible place!! We saw rare animals that live in Ein Gedi (including a family of ibex), climbed to the top and looked out from a cliff overlooking the Dead Sea and Massada, and went swimming in a stream, a great relief from the heat--the water is safe for drinking so we filled our water bottles ...
