day 24 – aqaba, jordan

Most of us probably know Aqaba as the port city Lawrence and his Arab army attacked from the desert -- opening the port to supply Allenby's march on Jerusalem.

For me, the invasion will come the other way.  I am heading inland to feed another of my juvenile dreams -- Petra.  The fifth grader who first saw it as a plate in a reference book is waiting to be amazed by reality.
