Dead Sea Scrolls

Friday 2 April 2010

At the Archaeological Museum here in Amman, they have a few small pieces of the famous Dead Sea Scrolls - here's a little bit.

Super-cool, huh?

There is a very nicely preserved Roman theater here in Amman.

Classic Petra

Monday 29 March 2010

Our last day at Petra, and here is the classic and most famous shot - the tomb called the Treasury.

I felt like Indiana Jones, being here!

Luckily, day two at Petra was sunny and warm! Here is the "Urn Tomb," one of the Royal Tombs, at sunset.

Petra in the rain

Saturday 27 March 2010

Ryan and I have arrived in southern Jordan, where we are visiting the ancient city of Petra. Our first day was cold and rainy and miserable, but definitely a rare experience for a desert attraction! You'll have to wait for the classic photo - today was all misty mountains. If you look closely, though, you can see some of the caves that served the Nabatean people as tombs.
