PETRA 4

This week end we are housing a granddaughter and husband, Casey 7 and Sydney almost 5, plus our daughter and son-in law from Roanoke who are staying with our daughter in Watchung. This does not give much time for hunt and peck essays'

However we will continue with our visit to Petra.
The old city area is now occupied by Bedouins who have taken over caves and cleared out tombs for their residences.

For a change, the Roman amphitheater

To Dottie, it was Hegel who said " We learn from hstory that we do not learn from history". Sadly how true.
