PETRA

Just a photo of me and one of two fellow travelers who went on a weekend trip south to Petra, the Dead Sea, etc. back in March. Here I am standing at the entrance canyon to the Nabatean "Wonder of the World" with Doretta Shull, a contract worker with the embassy here, who was here for a couple of months and wanted a travel companion who knew Jordan and Arabic. (I qualified about %60.) Picture taken by Marian Wang, a US citizen of Japanese-Taiwanese descent who teaches at my old university in Japan.
