The Spirit of the World ( On and Off)
A Jordanian Treasure
I thought that I would post one or two pictures from Jordan since this small Arab country is now playing center stage in the news of the day. The pictures are from a trip I made about 5 years ago.
This is the first view one has of Petra after following the long path from the hotels to the ancient UNESCO World heritage Site. The opening is the siq and the building is the Treasury. To see this mysterious view is a memory that will always be etched in my mind.
The gorgeous pink/coral/red sandstone caravan city dates back to the 6th century BC. Goods such as Arabian frankincense, Chinese silk and Indian spices were traded in this remarkable city that sits between the Dead Sea and the Red Sea. Its magic continues to mesmerize people today as the sandstone rock changes colors through out the day.
