Lily and I crossed the border at Eilat and into Jordan! First impression: Jordanian soldiers are much nicer than Israeli soldiers. One guy who checked our passports pointed out my nose ring and laughed that it wasn't in my picture. They all were like, "Welcome to Jordan!" We hopped in a taxi with two other travelers and went two hours to the city of Petra.
The Jordanian landscape is absolutely breathtaking. The vast Arabian desert has powerful mountains with huge sandstone pillars dotting the countryside. The best part is that you really do see camels!! Mohammad, our cab driver, put on Arabic music the whole way. It was so much fun.
Here are what Jordanian dinars look like:
