Above left: first glipse at the Treasury after passing through the Siq.

Above: The Treasury, carved from rock. Beduins thought the pot contained treasure (turns out it is solid rock). If it looks familiar, you saw it in Indiana Jones.

Right: Arlee's footies hurt, but after a downhill trek on the donkey she preferred walking again.

Below left: A beautiful little girl, leading her brother's donkey. Or trying to.

Below: Jess said, "So far, I've only ridden on a horse, a donkey, a camel and an elephant." I don't even remember getting to ride a pony. Then again, I've never been bitten by a crocodile, either.

Arlee said that the "ship of the desert" did indeed make her seasick. I stuck to walking.
A rest in the shade afforded views like this.

Above left: Discussing the plan of attack.

Above: The reward for a one hour uphill trek, the Monsastary.

Right. Jeshua's donkey was named Monica Lewinsky. It had noisy and frequent flatulence, and shaky legs. No political commentary intended.

Left: You don't see this sort of thing everyday in Grants Pass.

Below: A loftier perspective of the Monastary.

Above: A regular Beduin.

Right: And avid cartographer. Or at least a little boy with a marked fascination with maps. Every five minutes or less, he wanted to know, "Where are we on the map, now?"
