I decided to write my second blog about Petra. I am half-American, half-Jordanian and was born and raised in Jordan. However, it took until two years ago for me to finally visit this incredible historic site. This ancient city, carved entirely out of sandstone , may have been built as early as 5th century B.C. The building pictured above, the Treasury, is only one of the many structures spread throughout the city. As tourists make their way through, they can view the rather advanced water systems carved from stone along the walls. It is one of the Seven Wonders of the World and it is a place I would love to visit again to be able to really take in every part of the city.  What surprised me the most was the sheer size of the building. It was incredible to stand in front of the Treasury building and know that a long time ago, there were people in my exact spot that lived and worked in the city. I stood in awe and just stared at the intricate carvings in the building, wondering how with no technology and fancy machinery, they were able to create such a spectacular city. It is a place I recommend anyone who loves historic sites to visit.
