Hooka pipes, apparently very popular.

I don't get why Herod built palaces in the middle of nowhere...
Climbing up.
Jamel.
Shwerma time!
Man?
Mt Nebo.
Sheep.
Moving rocks.
Moab!
See what I mean about the middle of nowhere?
I wore the same clothes everywhere we went.
Dressed up for El Papa
That would be El Papa, Benedicto, in the pope-mobile.

Go figure, a bunch of Mormons, in Amman, going to see the pope.
Jerash
More Jerash.
And more Jerash.
Gas station attendant.
Um Qays
I did try to upload more pictures, but it wasn't meant to be. Jerash and Um Qays were part of the Decapolis--10 cities built by the Greeks/Romans, linked econmomically. Amman was the ancient Philadelphia and was part of it, Jerusalem, Caesarea--I have no idea what the rest were. Anyway, I'll have to try uploading another time.

maybe back in the day, it wasn't the middle of no where. maybe it was the hoppin' place to be. or maybe Herod just liked his privacy!
ReplyDeletewell it looks like you're having fun! i'm super jealous!!!
love you sonja!
You went to see the pope? You didn't mention anything about that in your few, very abbreviated posts. What happened to the daily recap of events?
ReplyDeleteThe food looks yummy!!
Amazing! Totally makes me want to read the scriptures! And you saw the Pope!! Amazing.
ReplyDeleteThe hair is probably because a man could be wearing a thobe and then misinterpret the sign (better check the spelling of "thobe"). Dramatic photos.
ReplyDeleteI am VERY JEALOUS!!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome pictures! My favorite is the gas station attendant just because it is so random. Did you ask if you could take his picture? He looks like he is smiling just for you.
ReplyDeleteYou are always on vacation in some far away land. I hope you don't mind that I got the link to your blog off of the Maughans. I'm just warning you that I might spy on you every now and then. Have fun and be safe.
