On day 2 of Petra I visited more tombs and hiked up to a point where the Treasury could be seen from above instead of below.  I spent some time up at the top enjoying the view while taking pictures then began the hike back so I could pick up my luggage at the hotel and be back at the meeting spot by 3PM.

Upon exiting Jordan I was worried I would have visa problems again however to my luck the only arbitrary question they asked me was what my father’s name is and where he was born.  The person in front of me didn’t have the same luck.  Turns out since her mom made Aliyah and returned to Canada some years ago, her mom was required to fill out some paperwork and the daughter was told that since her mom was a citizen she shouldn’t continue entering Israel as a tourist and apply for her passport.  Was talking to another guy in our tour group who had just finished the Birthright trip and he said he was asked “what special ceremony he had when he was 13″.
