Petra!

Petra, Jordan. This was awesome. Most of everything we saw in Israel had been reconstructed. So even if it was from the 10th century, most of it had been destroyed and then archaeologists used their very trained imagination to put together again. Petra is the complete opposite! It is carved straight out of rock and has existed since the 6th century BCE! I can't say anymore...just look at the pictures. By the way, there's a man carved into the wall, The Treasury, the Monastery (which was over 800 steps up the mountain) and the view from the mountain top...I climbed up a mountain! Yes, I was terrified coming back down!!
