Petra mountain walk

There was a free Internet at the visitor center so we checked our emails and find out that there was a big storm in Europe and that many people died. It was a firs new from Europe in almost one month since we left. There was still al lot to see in Petra. I printed few pictures of the beduin kids and the kids with mules taxes. In the theatre we met the sister of one guy I med pictures of and soon he came with his Michael jakson. I gave him the picture and hi was happy and offered us a free ride. We arrange to take us to small Petra in the evening. letter we met his very quite small sister and mother selling some rocks. We visited the Byzantine church with very nice mosaics of animals and we stoped at lunch in a empty coffee place. It was very to lay down and I was getting lazy to clime up the monastery. Soon a guy who was selling the send art bottles in the church appeared and we started to talk. he told us that he has bend working at the in the church site for 13 years and he helped with the excavation. He was happy to find out that Agnieszka is form Poland and told us that he has been working wioth one polish Archeoliogist and he could speak few words in Polish. He told us that his brother works the Monastery and invited us to his house in the beduin village for a tea in the evening. He came back in 5 minutes and told us that there are not too many tourists and that he will come with us and show us the way. He spoke very good English and we were very happy to find such a good guide. As we were climbing up to the monastery he told us that he has not been there for six months. On the way he met many of his friends and relatives selling jewelry. He told us that he has been married , but
after 10 years he has divorced and he has 2 small kids with his new wife. In the monastery we had a nice tea with his brother and friends. After this nice rest on the top of the mountain he led us to the beduin village through the very nice mountain route. It was very nice walk with not tourists only beautiful view on the surrounding mountains. The last part of the route we were driving on the pickup truck with a goat. We got tea and food and went to see how hi makes the sand art. He told us that he has been doing the sand bottles for almost 20 years.
Everyday after he comes back from his work at the church he makes 30-50 bottles. He showed us this old art and made four very nice glass bottles for us. We walk to our home and were happy for this new experience.
