Petra

Petra was amazing, although instead of finding the Holy Grail inside the treasury, it was only an empty room that smelled like a urinal. It is considered one of the seven new wonders of the world. I hiked two of the small mountains to get a birds eye view of everything and that was pretty cool. On one of the mountains there is an alter where humans were sacrificed by throwing them over the cliff. For the first hour BYU students were the only ones in the whole park so we have some cools pictures without anyone in them...the trick is going early...we were all there waiting at the gate at 6:00 am. The buildings are carved with tons of detail and it is impressive to see. Well worth it!
