I'm a little late getting this posted, but here are a few pics from our trek to Jordan.


a quantum physics experiment perhaps?




walking the valley of the crescent moon


the first peek you get of the treasury (we had a guide for part of our trek, he made Rory close his eyes for a minute and then told him to turn around to see the view - while he played Indiana Jones from his cell phone. It was kind of funny.


the treasury (no, there are no transformers hiding there, i checked)


it's hard to imagine people actually living in these little caves


then we drove 2,000 feet below sea level to the dead sea (the water bottles in the car were actually crushed from the pressure change!)


the salt content is so intense it's actually hard to stay 'standing'...but you don't want your face near the water because the tiniest drop of your lip burns like a son of a pup!


once i found my 'balance' i managed to stand up...this is in 10 feet of water, 'standing' completely still


and of course we played in the famed mud

You go for a swim in the pool at 7pm and after 15 minutes say, 'oooh, it's a bit chilly now, think I'll go back home'. Get home and look at the thermometer and it reads...102 F. Yah. Today was fuck all hot as ass, and dusty to boot. Bad day to have to move.

Forecast for tomorrow? 113 F, heat index of 152 F with warnings of 'extremely hot' weather. I think the outdoor laborers might actually get the afternoon off!

we drove for hours looking at sand


you could probably do a naked car fire drill out here...no one for miles


we came across some camels


one curious camel


make that a very curious camel!

Well, she's on the market. I just hope it brings the buyer as much unexpected joy as she did for me! We met because of this car and I hate to sell it, but we won't need a car in central London! Bye-bye my little Kia.

i miss her.
