OCTOBER 9TH
Left Ste Boker for Jordan early in the morning
We had to walk across the boarder from Israel to Jordan.
Walking from Israel to Jordan through no man's land.
Mitch Fogelson and I at Jordan's border.
Jordan and I already have so much in common.
(ha, got it?)
PETRA
Petra is an ancient city that was used by Nabatean nomads as their capital city and main trading post. Their main route began in the Arabian Peninsula and ended in Gaza. Innovative technology allowed them to carve catacombs and intricate facades.
My favorite shot.
The Treasury

In the afternoon we visited a farm that grew fruits, vegetables, and even fish.
Strawberries grown suspended in the air. Instead of using soil, they use ground coconut shells.

In the morning we visited a Bedouin school. I worked with 9th grade girls. We read a story with them. After twenty minutes I started asking them what food their moms make. Turns out we all love fasulieh.
At night we slept in a Bedouin tent.
At the tent, a local found a hedgehog. It was really fun to play with.
We slept in a Bedouin community in a giant concrete room.We all got a mat, a sleeping bag and a sheet.
Sunrise 5 AM this morning at the Bedouin Tent.
