Picturesque Jordan!






Just last month my husband and I took an amazing trip to Jordan in the Middle East. Jordan is surrounded by some tough neighbours - Iraq, Israel, Syria and Saudi Arabia, yet it remains a relatively peaceful country. We spent our time exploring Crusader castles, mosques and vast desert landscapes. The highlight must have been our magical candle-lit night walk thru the Siq to reach the Treasury in Petra, one of the new 7 wonders of the world. We wrapped up our journey in the Dead Sea, floating in mineral rich waters and soaking in mud baths. This was definitely one of our favorite trips!
