Two weekends ago I was at Wadi Rum with the two French girls in my class and a guy named Omar who lives near Boston. Wadi Rum is where T.E. Lawerence lived and the movie Lawrence of Arabia was filmed. The landscape is magnificent, however, the computer I am currently on will not allow me to load pictures right now so I will add them later. We took a long Jeep ride stopping at each of the famous sites. We climbed up a mountain the get to Lawrence Spring. At first. Wwalking in the desert actually wasn't so bad and I thought that the Israelites must not of had it as rough as the Bible makes it sound. Then we came to a sand dune. These th
ings are gigantic and your feet sink into them. By the time I got to the top my legs were exautsted. After resting, I decided to run down, but realized I was heading for some rocks and took a head first dive into the sand. Every crevice of my body filled with the red sand, and it wasn't until three days later that I got all of it our of my ears. I still have some in my shoes and jeans two weeks later.
After seeing the rest of the sights we slept in Bedouin tents out in the desert. The stars were incredible. I was able to see the Milky Way galaxy strip across the sky, which I wasn't even able to see in New Mexico.
