The Last Bits of Petra


The day we went to Petra was notable for a couple of other reasons other than seeing Petra.

First, we got to experience a fairly major sand storm.  And thank goodness, it started just after we got back from Petra.

Second, we splurged on dinner and tried Petra Kitchen.  This is a teaching restaurant where you pay to learn to cook Middle East/Jordanian specialities.  There were about 30-35 people in our group and we ended up working with Joanna, Mary, Chris and Joyelle from Colorado.  We had a great time learning how to make Lentil Soup, Baba Ganouj and Fattoush.  The rest of the group made the other dishes and we are looking forward to having a “Jordanian” night once we get home and having everyone over to check out our new cooking skills.

The fruits of our efforts!
