When I first decided to go back to school and get a degree, I couldn't decide whether to go into astrophysics or archeology so I did both for a while. I finished the astrophysics degree but I only completed three years of archeology. Of course, the interest remains. I have not been to Petra but it is a place I would love to go. A woman I knew learned about my interest and gave me the photo that this drawing is based on. The structure is called Ad Deir (The Monastery) and is the second most visited building in Petra. The city of Petra was designated a World Heritage Site in 1985. Although I have not been to this site I have managed to see a few other World Heritage Sites, including the Abu Simbel, Copán, Chichen Itza, Mỹ Sơn, and Ha Long Bay. I use to think that the sites would not live up to their hype but I have never been disappointed.
