Wadi Bashing at Wadi Rum, Jordan

This past week-end we went on our last trip while living Jerusalem.  We had to see Petra, one of the 7 Wonders of the World! The first day was driving all the way down Israel to Eilat, where there is a border crossing to Aqaba in Jordan.  We were met in Jordan by the bus driver who was taking us to Wadi Rum for a ride thru the site.  We bounced around the Wadi for 2 hours on the back of a pick up truck.  It was late afternoon, the sun was dropping, and the colors were changing every few minutes!  The sand was reddish-orange and the rocks were gorgeous...Please enjoy the photos, and read about Wadi Rum at this link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wadi_Rum

Our shadows!

Look at the size of the people in comparison to the "rocks".

These rocks will change with the lowering of the sun. 

Waiting for the sun to set.
