Petra--A Wonder of The World & A Terrible Town
Well, what can we say about Petra? It's a bit like Ha Long Bay...words and pictures just don't do it justice. We spent the past 4 days in Wadi Musa, which is the town next to Petra. Petra is one of the 7 Wonders of the World--it's the place Indiana Jones gallops on horseback through the deep canyon to the temple built into the rock. Although that …
