Armina, Mother, Gaylene, Roger and I stayed an extra night in Dubai and then flew Sunday morning to Amman, Jordan. There we met Kermit Kauffman and headed south for Petra - the "Rose Red City Half as Old as Time!" Armina had seen it years ago and asked me to take her there again so she could see if it was really as fantastic as she remembered. It was. We stayed in the Crowne Plaza, overlooking Petra and a magnificent rock wonderland. Next morning we headed down in. We spent several hours exploring and we couldn't stop taking photos. Such an enchanting and amazing place! Mother and Armina even walked all the way back up through the siq! Congratulations. Later in the afternoon we headed for the Dead Sea and stayed at the new Holiday Inn Resort, overlooking the sea and with a view of Israel on the other side. Beautiful place. In the morning we went out for a 'very local' breakfast then enjoyed the Dead Sea. Armina had a Dead Sea mud bath on her legs!
