Wow... the last 2 days were an amazing experience. I went to Jordan with a 3 other international students. We stayed with a Bedawin in the Wadi Rum desert and saw Petra. I have many stories and pictures I can share, here are some outline notes, that can be filled in later.
Being in the middle of the desert so far away from everything was breathtaking. We walked through the border check at 8pm, from the border we got a ride to Wadi Rum where a bedawin drove us in his 1980's toyota 4runner through the desert to a tent. He would turn the lights off while he drove so we could see the outlines of these mountains.
After driving around the desert in Wadi Rum we went to Wadi Musa, the small town next to Petra. Woke up at 6:30 to get to Petra before the tour groups that drive in. Hiked through the mountain ruins at Petra and then went back to Jerusalem via Eilat.
