HTEWF, d.

Third, Skye and I touched hand to hand while riding camels around the Treasury area. Then Maha had to rescue us from out touristicness by telling us the acceptable going rates for camel, donkey, and horse rides around Petra. So next, Danielle and Skye rode one camel and I rode another from the Treasury to the steps leading up to the Monastery for 10 denarii total (the highest acceptable price, according to Maha). So much fun. Camel riding was surprisingly less difficult than I expected. Most of the time I didn't need my hands so I'd just take pictures. Getting up and down is really the most thrilling part. I could swear camels have at least three knees per leg, those crazy things.
