New Employment Opportunity

Boy are we missing out!  On my recent trip to Israel, we made a short stop off in Jordan to visit Petra.  I learned some interesting things.  Like: how fast you can make it to the top of a mountain while taking picutres and learning as little information about the area as possible.  Another is that Jesus' baptism site is in Jordan somewhere.  Really?  New to me.  Petra is pretty cool, all these buildings carved into rocks.  Some intricate designs are still left behind.  There's the Treasury and the Monastary -- come to find out that they aren't really a treasury or a monastary but rather a monument or a tomb.  Or at least they think so.  But then they really don't know what anything is.  Thanks for the info.  But now, get ready for it... the Jordanians have really hit on something spectacular:


Here we have a 4 or 5 year old selling rocks.


And another selling rocks and jewelry.

Child labor.  What a way to earn some money by attracting the poor schmuck tourist with the cute dirty munchkin.  Fantastic.  Americans should consider this.
