Hopefully better next time.

Went to Petra on a tour and it was unfortunate to say the least. Petra is beautiful and completely interesting, but the we did not have very good dealings with the people there. The guide we hired in Petra let us know that Americans were overweight, too rich and politically inept. He wanted a tip after that. We decided to let him know we would visit the rest of Petra without him. The tour guide coming into Petra told us that the people who take care of the horses would always ask for more tips, but to only give them 2JD and "walk away". The man started cursing at us while we left. When we told the guide back at the bus he was not happy but didn't seemed too surprised. Hmmm... Petra is lovely and very beautiful, just a very bad experience with the people.
