Friends

 Sophie, Majenica and Meredith.

We met Majenica and Meredith, a father and daughter, while on the JETT bus from Amman to Petra. We didn't have any hotel reservation and ended staying at the hotel where they had their reservations. The La Maison Petra was very nice and inexpensive. It was closed to the entrance of Petra. Here we were frolicking in Little Petra. There were some frescoes in the upper chamber and Sophie and Majenica climbed up to see it. I, on the other hand, stayed below with Meredith. Sometimes we do meet people who were willing to travel with us even for a day or two. It's always nice but not always necessary because our traveling style is so different and our pace is different too. Sophie and I are always putting ourselves down for not being as agile as the younger people but compared to a lot of older folks we are still able to hold our own. This trip, we climbed and hiked like the young ones. I'm so pleased.
