Here’s what it looked like as we drove to Petra from Wadi Rum this morning.  It was dry and rocky, but cool and overcast.

These tour groups are sure to stop along the way for breaks (and they hope we’ll buy things).  I shop with my phone camera, taking photos of interesting things I see.  Oh, these trinkets are so colorful.  After the Covid years, the shelves were well-stocked with beautiful handwork from the locals and they were desperate to make a sale.
