Dig it in Israel

           Ashley Meets Hila in Petra

                                 BUYING JEWELRY FROM A LOCAL BEDOUIN BOY.

 RIDING CAMELS WAS A BIG HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY AND WE REALLY ENJOYED RIDING INSTEAD OF WALKING.  NOTICE THE DWELLINGS FOR FAMILIES CARVED OUT OF STONE FROM THE ORIGINAL INHABITANTS.

                                                   SMILING FOR THE CAMERA!

                              CAMELS BEING LED BY THEIR OWNER, A BEDOUIN.

 THE TREASURY BUILDING OF PETRA!  THIS WAS AN AWESOME SIGHT TO SEE, IT IS SOOOO BIG AND COOL!  IF YOU EVER GET A CHANCE TO SEE IT, YOU WOULD LOVE IT.

 A VIEW OF THE TREASURY AS YOU WALK OUT OF THE SIQ (NARROW CANYON).

 3 BEDOUIN GIRLS WORKING TO SELL THEIR JEWELRY TO HILA AND ASHLEY.  THEY LOVED GETTING THEIR PICTURE TAKEN WITH THE GIRLS.

YESTERDAY'S TRIVIA QUESTION ANSWER:

THIS IS A WATER CHANNEL THAT WAS CUT OUT OF THE WALL OF ROCK THAT LINES THE CANYON (SIQ)  AND WHEN IT RAINS, THEY WATER RUNS DOWN THE CLIFF WALLS AND INTO THE WATER CHANNELS AND FLOWS AT A SLIGHT DOWNHILL TO THE ANCIENT COMMUNITY.
