Today we are in Petra. We woke up early to go to Petra but Josephine was sick so she stayed in the hotel. Then we went to Petra. I thought it was more of a city built into the canyon but it was mostly graves. When we got there we saw a lot of horses pulling carts and carrying people around. You had to listen for them or else you would get run over! When we went into the city there were lots of people and it was very hot. In 1999 the street level was about 5 feet higher then it is now! Then we saw a treasury which wasn't really a treasury, it was just named that because they thought there was treasure in a jar that is on the roof. There was no treasure.
There were a bunch of people who had camels there and you only got to ride the camel for an average of 48 seconds! (I timed some people.) Then we walked around for a bit and saw a cute camel and an amphitheater built by the Nabitians and the Romans. After Petra we went back to the hotel and Josephine and Dad swam in the frigid pool because Josephine was still sick. Then Mom went to a Jordanian cooking class and we went out for supper. (She'll have to cook a lot of nice food when we get home)
Bye,
Emily
P.S. Tom. is Josephine's birthday!
