Petra is the main site in Jordan. The most famous thing in Petra it the Treasury (shown) below which is the site of the final scenes in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The whole city is much more than just the one site. There are literally thousands of tounbs carved into the red stone in the Petra Valley. I kicked myself for not bringing some sort of chalice or at least a bottle of Monty Python Holy Grail Ale to pose with. The day I visited the site it was overcast and was raining off and on the whole day. I spent 9 hours hiking around trying to stay relatively dry. At one point I ducked into one of the caves to wait out a heavy downpour and also have a little picknic lunch. I have a lot more pictures online at http://www.kodakgallery.com/I.jsp?c=5p42e5n.2xkq29gz&x=0&y=aegfr1
