So Day 2 was THE BEST DAY!! We spent the day wandering around Petra... I spent most of the day rock climbing around Petra. And... drumroll please... I RODE A CAMEL!!! Who gets to ride a camel?! So freaking awesome!!
So I guess I should give a little history lesson before you see Petra... Petra was built by the Naboteans by carving out buildings from the sides of the mountains. Pretty ingenious I think! Anyways that's about all you need to know so here it is!

This is at about 6am before we left the hotel I went up on the roof and took a sweet picture of the Petra Moon Hotel and the moon!
The Naboteans were really good at channeling water... this was a waterway carved out of the side of the cliff face!
This is the sikh or the narrow passageway leading into Petra... it reminded me a lot of the Narrows in Zion National Park.
These are the camels I rode, their names are Lulu and Zuzu
I RODE LULU... I'm a natural camel rider!
Andrew and I in Petra
Sun coming through the mountains in Petra
So this is the Loo with a View... the bathrooms are literally inside a cave made of SUPER red stone... yes I did go to the bathroom in there and it was pretty sweet!
I decided to hike up to the Monastery with a bunch of people... 837 steps... it was quite the hike!
Monastery at the top... totally worth it!
Everyone that climbed up to the top!
So Will was taking a picture where he would do a handstand and clipped his eye on a rock... I FINALLY got to use my lifeguarding skills and I patched him up alright! Dad you would have been so proud of me! I promise a gorier picture later :p
This is the Tomb of the Kings... I spent a lot of time rock climbing here... Cal, Jackson, and I climbed all the way to the top of the mountain above the tombs and saw some pretty awesome views!
I'm a climber I can't help it!
This was a SUPER rickety wood bridge we found and of course I had to go out and take a picture on it!
I'm most proud of this picture it pretty much describes what I did in Petra
View from the tippy top of the Tomb of the Kings... and my keens... thanks for sending them Mom I would have died without them... literally
