Our group is going to Petra today, where they have a full day exploring its rich history and impressive remains.

I, on the other hand, am staying in my room. I got sick yesterday and have slept most of the morning. Fortunately now I'm just tired and my stomach doesn't hurt any more.

Bummer!

One of the New Seven Wonders of the World, Petra was featured in “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.” Its more significant connection is to Moses’s Exodus journey, as he and the Israelites passed through the Petra area in ancient Edom. Maybe some other time, eh?
