At the end of the Israel tour, we boarded a bus to Eilat and then on to Jordan where we spent two days at Petra. For best viewing run the slideshow on Petra, Jordan.

Italian Sayings
"There is always time to pay and to die."
The Colosseum in Rome was always open so mothers would tell their children who left the door open "Do you think you live in the Collosseum?" In Venice they say "Were you born in a Gondola?"
"We have gypsys and pickpockets around, usually they are not Italian."
"Money does not smell" The Roman Emperor Vespasian reintroduced a urine tax on public toilets within Rome's now famous Cloaca Maxima (great sewer) system. When his son Titus criticized him, he supposedly pointed out that a coin did not smell, even though it came from urine.
