Well I guess you've noticed that there isn't anything on our blog since we couldn't get on it at one of the hotels internet and the one we are at now is has ancient computers so we're not sure we can here either but We'll try.We are have a great time. Fun people to be with. We spent all day today at Petra which is one of the seven wonders of the world. It's an ancient civilations that carved their homes and tombs and monestary into the rocks and it is unbelievable. It really can't be explained. A acouple of minutes of Indiana Jones was filmed here. We are in Jordan now. WE are staying in a five star hotel but it's kindof like a themed hotel because we are actually staying in a cave but a nice one. Egypt was something else, not my favorite since it reminded me at times of Haiti, very third or fourth world country stuff be we saw some amazing things including the pyramids which is another one of the 7 wonder of the world.We have one more day in Jordan - we are going to Mount Nebo and Jerash then the next day on into Jerusalem. It's been fabulous and haven't had too bad of a time with jet lag although everyone but the Larsens have had some stomach issues for a day or so but nothing serious. We have ridden donkeys, horses and camels all in just 3 days. The hike into Petra is a long one and then some of us then took an extra hike that was 1000 steps up the mountain to see the monastery. . Temps in Egypt were extremely hot around 100 but here in Jordan and hopefully in Jerursalem they won't be as bad - maybe in the 80's.Well, that's about all for now. We'll try out blog - as we've given the blog address to alot of people so they'll be disappointed.
