Petra cannot be described in words – so I will save you from my often verbose descriptors and allow you to journey through some of my favorite photos from thisbreathtaking place. (Click on any photo to enlarge the album into a slideshow). If you are curious to see more, the rest of the photos are on my Facebook page 🙂
