  1. Welcome to Petra: The Jordanian Experience

    Welcome to Petra: The Jordanian Experience

    🎧 to this short 📖 based on true events at Petra Restaurant #Tampa ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A hot current of air poured over desert thickets, reeds & willows, and rolled over the Judean desert. Howling winds carried/pushed the sound of soft classical middle eastern instrumentals through the narrow straight between the rock faces. With the salt beds of the Jordan river paces away, the smell of salt bounced against the gypsum walls and traded & mixed with spices Carved into an urban landscape,  the great hall was supported by a single hewn plastic pillar at center. White tiled ceilings stretch across the vast expanse, and gold varnished millwork bordered the perimeter of the region. Images of pita, olives & zatar-peppered bread, and smothered meats were encased in gold-trimmed/framed glass. Patrons sat along dusty shores, on the surface of mahogany red chairs, and along the edge of tables line up across the beige tiled floors, the color of sunbaked clay.   The red/brown dust settled at my feet as a white saucer was set upon my table. The saucer was divided into zatar, olive oil & chili paste. My chicken shawarma plate sided with a house salad and basmati rice was planted on my table. I didn't have to think twice. #survivecorona #stories #storytelling #fyp #foryou #performanceart #normallife #Petra #Midleeastern #tampabay #ybor #florida #southtampa #lovefl #fl #explorida #floridalife #813 #tampafoodie #bestoftampa #Baklava #shawarma #hummus
