Petra: the Monastery and the Camels

The donkeys took us 800 rocky steps to the top of the mountain to the monastery.
After climbing inside and seeing the big empty stone room, Brian hiked on a little further, but the girls and I sat at the top. I had a diet coke and the girls built a sand castle.


After a terrifying donkey ride back down the mountain, we changed to camels. I like camels. They are big and seem more confident about where they place their feet.
Emily did marvelously on her own camel.

When we reached the Treasury, our guide took a picture of us all on the camels. Cute, huh? Too bad he got his finger in the picture...
