I have wanted to visit Petra from the first time I watched Indiana Jones (who didn't). Compared to the colorful streets of Havana, the temple at Petra might not seem like a colorful destination. But the bright pink sandstone temple rising out of the white sand desert with a clear blue sky in the background is not to be missed.
