Wadi Dana

Jordan has some really beautiful landscape which I never realized until I got here. There are a number of Wadi's (or valley in Arabic) and last weekend I went to Wadi Dana which is about 2.5 hours south of Amman. However we left on late friday afternoon and we didn't account for getting a flat tire along the way which I guess is pretty common in Jordan. So we spent about 45 minutes in this little tire station waiting to see if they could get a tube to fix our flat, unfortunately they were not able to fix it since all the shops were closed on Friday. So we drove the rest of the way to Wadi Dana on the spare which was an actual full tire thankfully...We did get lost on the way there since it was dark and you are in the middle of the desert. When we did find out way, we got to this little family run hotel/campground and they had dinner waiting for us. It was delicious.

We pretty much crashed out and then got up early on sat for a hike. The place was beautiful, kind of like the grand canyon only about 100 times smaller. The weather was perfect and it was really cool to be some of the only people along the path or even out there hiking.

On the way we ran into some Bedouin kids who were out with their goats, it was pretty cool, they chatting with us a for a while and then we continued along on our way. All and All an awesome weekend and it was great to get out some and see more of Jordan.
