The bench
By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.- Confucius

Reflecting is good for the soul... I tried to capture the Alps in the water but only got the floating clouds. Reminded me of this lovely quote: “Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.” - Rabindranath Tagore
As I climbed up the many stone steps to the Monastery at Petra and beyond, I was called by the Bedouin sound of a flute. I climbed on past the tourists to the place at the end of the trail following the sign to the world’s best view when I ended up here. I met my Bedouin friend, enjoyed a mint tea overlooking the stunning Rift Valley. I had the entire view to myself and felt like I had gone on a pilgrimage where I found peace and sanctuary here at the end of the road. Oh what a purely magical place Jordan is. Like no place on earth.

No words can describe how I felt today seeing the divine beauty of Petra. Built in 400 BC, hand carved out of rock, this place is absolutely surreal. Can hardly wait to rise at dawn to go back and see more.

Have you ever taken a ride on a camel before? While it is an ancient tradition that the Arabs have been participating in for centuries, it isn’t the most normal thing to do. First, getting on the camel before he stands up is easy. Trying to stay atop when he does actually stand is a bit strange. Then you are so high up in the sky. As the camel starts to walk you jolt back and forth and back and forth trying to balance yourself and stay on. After about ten minutes the uncomfortableness sets in as it is much harder than riding a horse. Yet to be so high in the sky in the desert is truly spectacular. An experience I will never forget. ✨✨✨✨

Morning just after sunrise at our camp at Wadi Rum. So much beauty and peace. The expansive beauty of this place is hard to capture or put into words.

Nothing beats riding in the back of a pick up truck in the middle of a desert in a hailstorm! Now that was unexpected. After the thunder and lightening stopped we arrived at our Bedouin camp for the night as they were tending the camels. Feels like being on the set of a Star Wars movie. Quite surreal!
