When Joseph was required to travel to Bethlehem to have his family counted by the Roman government, he decided that he must take Mary with him. Normally, he would never think of taking Mary with him on a journey of about 80 miles, especially since she was so close to giving birth.
So, he prayed for God's protection and gently placed Mary and their belongings on a small donkey. Joseph walked and led her. The journey was long and difficult. It took them about a week and they had to make a camp each night to eat and rest. It was hot during the day but cold at night in this rough desert country.
