• Bedouins love decoration. They decorate their hauling trucks with designs and bright paint. They put these black fringy things on their side view mirrors.
• Drivers are NOT allowed to act as tour guides. They aren’t even supposed to tell you about the places that they are taking you… very strange. Our driver did share many things with us anyway. He really didn’t understand the rule either.
• Everyone smokes!
• There isn’t heat in many of the restaurants and stores.
• Many buildings are in a huge state of disrepair and there is trash everywhere. (sad)
• The ancient Roman name for Amman is Philadelphia
Today we just hung out on our own. We had a lazy morning and walked to a local shopping area. Then we took a taxi to a movie theater and watched Bolt. Afterwards we went back to the hotel, took the girls swimming and then had a sandwich. Moonthere picked us up at 6 to head to the airport. It’s always nice to visit a new place, but also so nice to go home. It was weird to think of Dubai as going home, but it did feel that way once we got into the villa. We arrived home around 3am.
We would all highly recommend Jordan as a great place to see. Such amazing things to see and so much history to learn.
This is us with Moonthere.
