Hannibal nodded at the students. "Last week, we discussed dealing with dairy and eggs safely. This week, we'll be discussing meats. There are entirely too many different kinds to deal with them all, so — some of the more common."

He set out dishes.

Class was meeting in the Danger Shop today to make it easier to complete today's activity. Riley was at the front of the room, arms crossed while he leaned against the desk.

"Today, we're going to the country of Jordan," he explained, glancing at everyone. "We're going to take a walk around a city called Petra. Petra is a magnificent city that's hidden within Jordan's deserts and can only be found by walking through a very narrow gorge."

He paused for a second. "Let me give you some background about Petra and how she got to where she is today. Two thousand years ago, Petra stood at a crossroads of the ancient Near East. Camel caravans passed through, loaded with spices, textiles and incense from distant regions--and through such commerce, the city flourished. Its people, the Nabataeans, harnessed precious water, enabling the population to soar to perhaps 20,000. The Nabataeans also erected monumental tombs, memorializing their kings and leaders. But over time political control changed, and so did trade routes. Eventually the city fell silent, forgotten by the outside world."

Riley passed out a small handout containing some basic facts about Petra. "This city was only rediscovered in 1812. When you think about it, that's not very long ago. And that's where we are today, taking a walk around the city. In particular, I'd like you guys to check out the architecture because it's all carved into sandstone cliffs. It's unlike anything you might ever see again. Be careful but definitely enjoy."

Riley started the simulation and started off towards the city himself to take a look around.

"I've learned that this weekend was another one of those weekends," Anakin said, glancing around at the robobabies and more than half-expecting them to be colored on with markers or given exciting new haircuts.

He had a young daughter at home, he knew how these things worked.

"Hopefully you learned a few things about single parenthood before you turned small," he concluded. "Please write up a 200 word essay about what you discovered."
