First part of Jordan :)

Hello Friends and Family!! Exactly one week ago we went on a big adventure to Jordan.  The first day it took us about 4 hours to go through all the check points to get across the border. But once we got there we immediately went to Mt. Nebo, then Madaba and Marchaerus, then we were off to Petra for the night. The next day was our day to enter the world of Indiana Jones!! We went to PETRA!!! It was extremely hot and some of us were shaking when we got to the third hike of the day but it was so worth it.  Here are some pictures:

Mt Nebo with the Beautiful Natalie C. 

Rachelle, Rachel and I the light is right before we hit the place where Indiana Jones was filmed.  Our tour guide made us all stand in 4 different lines with our heads down and hands each others shoulders and he sang the theme song.  So funny! :) 

There it is! Amazing... No other word to describe it. 

This is the Monastery that we hiked 837 steps to get to.  Remarkable.  So much detail in everything. Loved it! 

The High place! Finally made it! :) The view was beautiful!! Loved it! :)
