After Petra we went up to Amman to stay with Peter and see another city.

When we first got to Amman we went to find dinner.

Some goats wondering the parameters that we saw on the way to the monastary. Eventually our paths crossed and we walked through the goats.

Some modern day things (aka a car) mixed with the ancient surroundings.

One of my favorite pictures from my whole trip. Some old guys shop who makes leather shoes and delivers them around the world...if only they did not cost so much. (picture of some of his shoes below)



Chocolates made scratch at a little cafe we stopped in at.
