Quiche

Well, just before I hit the road...and then get on the bus and ride to our next location, I'd like to let you all know that I'm still alive and getting better every day.  We saw Petra yesterday, which was wonderful, but I don't think it compares to the amazing temples we saw in Egypt.  Just my opinion.  I don't have time to go into detail though.

Just a couple of explanations:
my current title...short version, it means quickie.  As in quick post.
my last title...reference to A Bit of Fry and Laurie, and to the fact that everyone wants a tip (like a fiver/five dollar bill)
lastly, the Bedouins with their cell phones...I definitely would have taken a picture, except that again, if you took a picture of any local, they would want a baksheesh/tip.  So I didn't want to risk it.

That's all for now.

Did ew know...?
Parts of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade were filmed in Petra.
Thank you for choosing Lod's Little Tidbits, and have a nice day.

I'm developing a new vocabulary. What fun. Thanks for the explanations. I guess today will give you that same first look that the children of Israel had, as well as Moses. Enjoy the journey!
