    Default My Little Friend From Petra

    This little Bedouin girl was playing near us as we passed through Petra, Jordan. Her Father had passed away and her mother who was very beautiful was selling near by and I had the chance to speak with her. She told me that she had fallen in love with a tourist from Texas who wanted her and the little girl to go to the United States with him but she declined saying she would miss her Bedouin customs and family too much to leave. Unfortunately she will not have the opportunity to remarry a bedouin unless she gives up her little girl as the men will not take on another man's child. How sad. She was so very lovely.

    I think Amy hit the nail on the head when she said that you will probably look at this photo for years wondering what has happened to the little girl.

    The world can be a cruel place to be for some people. Very sad.
