1. They have a monarchy. King Abdullah II. His pictures are everywhere I love it! Too bad we didn't get to see where he lives...
2. It is the home of Petra.
3. There are lots of camels, donkeys, mules, dogs, cats, flies and other animals EVERYWHERE. Not always cool and never sanitary, but usually brings some entertainment.
4. My castle is there.
:)
5. HobNobs. I guess you can find them in the States, but I've never HEARD of them before Jordan.
6. My Dad could live there, because they have this yummy cereal:
7. They have stores called this in their mall:
If they have this store in America, I'm not shopping there ever.
8. Number 8...enough said.
9. The other possible site of Jesus' baptism is there, on the Jordan River, north of the Dead Sea.
10. You can take cool pictures like this...even though it is not a happy story, it helps us to remember what happened there.
11. When you have to wait at border crossings, you can find random people in the area and narrate their lives for them while bored on the bus.
Oh, and sometimes the pictures of them come out sideways...
12. I bought a kefiyah. Like what these bagpipe players are wearing on there heads.
Bagpipes.
13. It is called the HASHEMITE KINGDOM OF JORDAN. Full title.
Done.
Downside of The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan:
They did not stamp our passports. What kind of country does not stamp your passport?
Ok, so there is a reason why, but I don't feel like sharing and I'm still peeved that there is no Jordanian stamp in my passport. Oh well.
I guess Jordan is still a pretty awesome place :)
And I'm not sick anymore :) :) :) :) :) Best news all week!
