During Passover break Team Liz visited Jordan (April 7-10). Since we had already been to Petra we decided to spend a couple nights in Aqaba and two days in Wadi Rum, the Jordanian desert. Liz is fond of describing Wadi Rum in the following way "it's like the Negev on steroids - bigger hills, more space, deeper colors." Now if you have never been to the Negev, Israel's desert, this description may leave something to be desired. We hope these photos will help a little. Enjoy!
This photo was taken by our friend Eduardo. What you can not tell from this photo is that we are standing on top of a rock "bridge". The "bridge" was probably 45 feet high. Here you can see us standing at one end of the "bridge" in a Titanic'esque pose.
Perhaps one of the more special moments of the trip, was when Saul got to jam with this world renowned oud player. His name was Sa'id and he is a Jordanian bedouin. He was unbelievable on the oud and he even took a turn on Saul's guitar.
Saul takes a moment to survey the desert. We had climbed up this amazing sand dune. The sand was super fine and very red.
