We woke up feeling somewhat rested, but a little sore from all the hiking yesterday. Our morning adventure took us to Petra, which is a city that was built into the rock. It was so awesome to see the amazing architecture and complexity of each building. Of course this is also famous because of Indiana Jones. In fact our guide even played the music as we turned the corner to see the Treasury, which is the building below.
We walked through quite a bit of the city and were continually amazed at the beautiful city. The color of the rock was even gorgeous, which Monica and I show you with our Vanna White skills down below.
It was another hot, long day and I honestly thought we would die walking back to the bus. Fortunately we made it and went to our hotel, which was really nice and authentic looking. Our room was pretty sweet too.
We decided to go swimming since we were sweating to the oldies. As we were getting ready the bellhop brought our luggage and kept wanting to take me to the Turkish Bath. I wasn't even sure what it was, but I wasn't going to find out alone. On our way down to the pool we saw him again and he even remembered our room number. Kinda creepy! Again he was all about the Turkish Bath so we let him show us quickly and all we saw were two old, sweaty, creepy men smoking. If that was who was gonna rub us down, we were not for it. So we went swimming and it was kind of cold...then again I'm a sucker for the cold. Monica and Charlie jumped right in. Basically it wasn't too bad once you got in, but you had to keep moving otherwise you were freezing. It ended up being a cool missionary moment as we talked to a school teacher from Santa Barbara. She asked all sorts of questions and even told us that her computer assistant was LDS and that from his example several kids joined the church! It was really cool. Then we had dinner, which was pretty good and emailed our families. Then we played cards with some people in our group. It was a good day.
