THE COOLEST THINGS I DID IN PETRA JORDAN (by will age 8)

Thank you to the people who made comments.  I like when people respond to the things that I write on a computer.

 

This is about the cool things I did in Petra.  Like, I got to hike up a mountain in Petra.

 

I hiked very long distances because I could see a lot of things.  Like I saw carvings in mountain walls.  They were small and big and were reddish.  They were carved more than 1000 years ago and they did it for their religion.

 

 

They stacked rocks for god.  I stacked rocks, too, because I believe in god.

 

 

I rode a donkey and mule & in a horse carriage.

When I rode the donkey up a steep mountain I felt so scared.  Because it was like it was going straight up.

I got to go into a tomb where 14 people were buried.  In the tomb it was creepy.  I felt like a zombie was going to grab my leg and pull me under the ground.

 

 

It was scary to walk in the Siq because I felt like the walls will fall.  The Siq is where two mountains used to be attached together and something happened where they split apart.  Just some of the parts are really close together.  There are also water tunnels that would carry water into the city.

 

 

Petra is very rocky and sandy.  But it is also very beautiful.

cars 2 museum whoops! just a joke (will age 8 )

Today we went to a car museum.  First we called a taxi who we met the day before & his name is Maher. Maher knew right were my mom works, so, we dropped mom of at work. Then we drove to the car museum. When we got there it was closed so we ran on a stage outside to the Southeast.  Then we looked at a air plane that was also outside. In front of the entrance there was a toyota truck with no outside cover.  It had just wheels, engine, steering wheel, foot pedals and no bottom thing to protect the tanks.  Also, there was a car split down the middle. We paid 5 jd wich is $6.50 for 1 adult & 2 kids.

We saw cars & motorcycles. They are owned by the king of jordan. My favorite thing was the armored tank from WWII because it was cool.

 

This is the sign of the Royal Car Museum and under it is a car with no surroundings.

 

 

These are motorcycles from World War II.

 

 

That car is a car that the King of Jordan drove in for festivals.

 

 

 

This is the tank that was my favorite car.

 

 

This is another medical motorcycle for WWII.

 

 

These are very fancy sports cars.

 

 

 

This car is one of the fastest cars on the earth, I think.

 

 

This is a car where you open the door up.

 

 

This car can go on land and water.  It has propellers on the bottom.

Bringing it back from the dead

The hiatus has lasted almost exactly one year.  The 366 days of silence come back?  A bit longer than Lazarus, but perhaps not in vain — for my son, the first born, the-one-who-was-8-months-old-when-this-blog-was-started-and-is-now-8-years-old, The Little Man* (*TLM) himself is entering the blogging world.

The story goes like this: we’re in Amman, Jordan for a few weeks for work and Will is blogging as part of his school work during the trip.  I’ll tag (WillsBlog, Jordan) and categorize (Will’s Blog) his posts accordingly.  Further, I will boost my attempts to get the blog redesigned, updated, and restored to a long-lost former glory.   Arshook and Shukram!
