Autumn is here...it's cooling down and I caught a cold! I keep sneezing and blowing my nose. So I needed to remember the heat of Jordan. More pictures of Petra to come....soon.

After Um Qeis we went East to the Desert Castles via Umm el-Jamal. Umm el-Jammal looks like a dead city. Everything is in basalt which allowed a good preserving of the remains despite the fact the city was destroyed by an earthquake. We spent 4 hours on this site, alone, with our guide book, trying to guess what was what!

Our next stop was in Pella, a mostly Byzantine site near the border with Israel. The remains themselves aren't that extraordinary but the natural site was beautiful.
