Petra&amp;#39;s &amp;#34;monastery&amp;#34; basking in the golden light just before sunset
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/figcaption&gt;
&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&#34;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nabataeans&#34;&gt;Nabataeans&lt;/a&gt; were a tribe who became filthy rich on the trade of frankincense, myrrh, and spices in the Arabian peninsula around 2,000 years ago. They built Petra as the capital of their flourishing civilization. Hauntingly beautiful stone facades standing one hundred meters tall are amazingly intact and well preserved to this day.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Evolutionary biologist J. B. S. Haldane once said that &amp;ldquo;the Universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we &lt;em&gt;can&lt;/em&gt; suppose,&amp;rdquo; alluding to the fact that physical sciences often raise more questions than they answer, leaving us scratching our heads. After visiting Petra I was overwhelmed with a similar feeling, that Petra is not only grander than we suppose, but grander than we &lt;em&gt;can&lt;/em&gt; suppose. What I would give to have seen it in its time!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Alan lived and worked in Kenya for eight years, first as a volunteer teaching computer science at a rural college, and later as a Linux systems administrator at a &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ilri.org&#34;&gt;livestock research institute in Nairobi&lt;/a&gt;. During his time in Kenya he traveled extensively around East Africa and &lt;a href=&#34;https://alaninkenya.org&#34;&gt;blogged about his experiences&lt;/a&gt;. He is passionate about open-source software, information security, and the freedom of information — naturally, he &lt;a href=&#34;https://mjanja.ch&#34;&gt;blogs about that too&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After spending some time living in (and &lt;a href=&#34;https://englishbulgaria.net&#34;&gt;blogging about&lt;/a&gt;) Bulgaria, he finds himself living in Jordan. These are his stories.&lt;/p&gt;
