Riding the Donkeys

My favorite part of Petra was riding the donkeys to the Monastery.

We had to go up a big hill. It felt like we were climbing a mountain. When we got higher, I could see really far. It was cool.

My donkey was slower than the other ones. I didn’t mind, but I wanted him to run. I wasn’t nervous. It was exciting.

I was near the back. I saw some donkeys going really fast. My mom’s donkey was new, and it was going close to the edge. That scared my mom, but she was okay.

The people who helped with the donkeys were nice. They made sure we were safe.

At first, the people were yelling and fighting to see who could give us the rides. Then they calmed down.

When we got to the top, I felt proud because I made it.

That’s what I remember about Petra.
