Behind Every Picture, There's a Story.

Wonder of the World, Petra


Here’s a glimpse into another of my recent trips. Aqaba, Jordan on the Red Sea bordering Israel and Saudi Arabia if I’m not mistaken. Although we spent a lot of time just chillin’, I enjoyed a blitz day at Petra, one of the seven wonders of the world (depending on which list you choose to follow). It was incredible. A whole city carved into rock in what seems like the middle of some dusty, arid mountain gorges. It’s truly magnificent. My pictures don’t do it justice and I apologize, but trust me, it is.

Of course I wouldn’t just take one picture, you should know that… View the whole lot of pictures in my Petra album. Or check them out right here:
