On Sunday we went to Petra. Our guide showed us some bas-relief carvings of geometric shapes that were the pagans false gods because "they did not remember what the early prophets said and forgot what God looked like" while we hummed the Indiana Jones theme song. Eventually, we split off and Cynthia, Caitlin, Jackie and I climbed the High Point of Sacrifice. It was pretty epic. The view was great, the climb was excellent (barefoot of course), and we a great little rest at the top for 45 minutes. Oh yeah, we also sacrificed Caitlin.
We went to the Dead Sea on Monday and it was absolutely beautiful. It was the perfect, relaxing end to the trip. Floating in the Sea was absolutely surreal. Turns out everything people say about it is true, who knew? The "free mud" was also fun to play with. We stayed up until five in the morning reminiscing and such. The next morning consisted of relaxation, water slides, and the pool.
Saying good bye to everyone that night was sad. It's going to be weird not spending every waking moment with the people i've spent the last six weeks with, especially one or two of them (I'll stop now for fear of being too maudlin). This is my last post for this adventure. The rest of my week will be spent at Abdo's house with him, Katie, and Deryn.
Ma' sallama!
