Traveling for a Week | 6.
Below is a group of photos taken during our week-long trip to Petra, the Wadi Rum, the Dead and Red Seas, Aqaba, Jesus' baptismal site on the Jordan River, among other places. I've had to select only a few photos to upload. Thus, I hope they are satisfactory. The first eight are from various locations in Petra, the ancient capital of the Nabatean empire. The next five are from Wadi Rum, a vast desert where we camped for a night. Our group took a five hour Jeep tour, and during the night saw a meteor streak across the sky from the eastern to western horizons. No picture of that unfortunately. It was unbelievable, though. The final five are from Aqaba, in the gulf of the Red Sea. Many blessings to you all. I have three weeks and four days before I return to the USA. For a variety of reasons, one of which is most exciting, I am ready to be home. Again, many blessings.

Hey Peter! Those are great pictures! I'm so glad you got to go this year and that you are getting to see all of these beautiful places againg. Enjoy your last few weeks!
Peter, this is Kyle Raymond. Excellent, excellent pictures - good contrast of colors (red, blue) as well as light and dark. Especially the pictures near the ocean.
I was looking over your favorite music on Facebook, and I realized we should have hung out more at JBU. First, similar taste in music. Second, history majors. Third, you like the Middle East (and the food, yes?). You like theology - I like theology a little... but theology is close to philosophy?
Looks like fun. You look like your having fun. Did you have fun? I assume your back. What are you doing with your post JBU self? Wasn't seminary on the shortlist?
