Ten Years Young! Number Eight on our Top Ten Ancient Sites

In old age people tend to forget things.  And so it is that here at www.IanAndWendy.com we suddenly woke up and realized we had missed our tenth birthday!  That’s right – August 31st 2009 marked TEN WHOLE YEARS of www.IanAndWendy.com! 

So, in celebration of the tenth anniversary of www.IanAndWendy.com we’ve compiled a list of 10 of our favorite old sights.  Number eight:

Petra, Jordan – As you trudge down the long unimpressive path toward the entrance, horse driven carts barrel past covering you in dust and you wonder why Petra has recently been named one of the new Seven Wonders of the World.  Then you emerge through the narrow water carved walls of the Siq and you tilt your head way back to take in the enormity of the Treasury you’re struck by audacity of the Nabateans who constructed their capital city right into the rock cliffs over 2,000 years ago.
