Not much time left on the internet and its expensive here so I'll make this quick. Got off to an early start this morning with stops at St. George's Cathedral in Madaba where we got to view whats left of a mosaic dating to the 5th century that outlines this region...really detailed and it was cool to see how they mapped things out back then using art. We then went made a stop at Mt. Nebo, burial site of Moses where we got a birds eye view of the entire region and learned alot of history about the area. Off to Kerak castle which was full of hallways, passages and got an idea of how they protected their cities through these large castles. Back in the bus towards Petra and we made a stop at a panoramic viewpoint overlooking the Jordanian Grand Canyon...i had no idea they even had one, but its just as impressive as the one in the states.
A few more hours on the bus and we arrived at our hotel near Petra. The next 2 days are booked to exploring Petra which should be incredible. After a big buffet dinner, the group migrated to the coffee shop and we shared some apple sheesha...good times! 10% beers don't hurt either!
