bedouin cell phone

And here is the thing I did not expect: Petra isn't a dead city. Not really. It seemed like many of the bedouin working there lived there, at least part time - there were children playing in the ruins as if it was their front yard, and I think perhaps it is. This bedouin family had lit a fire, but the matriarch in the lovely embroidered robes is talking on a cell phone. Jeremy peeked into a cave high up and saw bedding, clothing. And years ago our friend Marina told us she'd looked into a cave and seen two boys wrestling, only they weren't wrestling.
