I always thought that this was all of Petra but the city goes on and on. In three hours, walking hard, we saw a fraction of it. Maybe we should have taken a donkey and a bedouin guide, like this guy we met on the bus who went with a boy who called himself "Eagle." But there was something wonderful about discovering it on foot and on our own though we were a little stunned and confused. It felt like landing on Mars.
