I am now in Jordan. We arrived last night around 2am. We left the airport around
4am! Much drama for sure. One group member, Marylin was so sick that she was sent
to the hospital. I finally got to bed around 5:30 am. I awoke too late to make breakfast. Its 4:00 and I haven't eaten yet. Our group meeting was at noon but I slept till 12:15 and then went to the pool.Oh was that ever and adventure.
Firstly, its at least 105 here. The pool was filled with boys and young men. The
lifeguard told me I needed a tshirt so I went and got the "rash guard and shorts" and
swam with the boys, gave swimming lessons etc. In other words, I had fun! Swam and
took a shower with a trickel of water. Then I went to a "group" meeting. That went
pretty well and Garay seems to be in charge. We are going to dinner as a group tonight. Its 4pm now and I still haven't eaten anything except a bite of the emergency choclate Goldee gave me!If the "group stuff" doesn't/ isn't better I will
move my act out and just have fun in Jordan! Good grief.
Joran is a beautiful country. The people are so warm and wonderful. Most of the women
have their heads covered and so do I. The girl, who works the front desk is not covered but the other women are. The women in my group do not have their heads covered either, just me, but that is my choice. Also, there is not a whole lot
of electricity here so blow drying and flat ironing my hair are sort of out of
the question anyway. At the airport I saw women in black, some with veils and almost
100% covered. I will proably not get any shopping time until tomorrow.
My room is small, with a double bed and guess what, I have the only balcony, which
is perfect for hair drying. About 5 min outside and its bone dry. I do have A/c and
a TV but I haven't had time to watch. I wonder if I can get All my Children!! Love to
all, I am going to try and post pictures!

So let me get this straight...did you try and go to the pool without the rashgaurd and shorts!?? Too Funny...but really mom! Keep the noodle working properly...I knew the hair dryer and flat iron was going to be a waste of suitcase space! Ha....get some food in your system, we don't want the group to experience a nugetation sensation from you, at least not yet. Sounds awesome. Excited for the next blog.
Amor, Sarah.
Oh my gosh! You're in Jordan!! (... if you have time to watch All My Children I'm seriously going to be pissed!)
Do they have "moroccan pizza?" Oh my gosh- please let us know what the food is like.
I'm dying that you brought a blowdryer and flat iron- we must be from the same tribe. Sarah thinks it's crazy that I always take them with me to Brazil. But yeah- waste of space.
Thinking about you!

P.S. POST PHOTOS!!!
Sarah I love you and I see things
more clearly here. When AOL is
up I will write you more about my
conversation. I think the peace
process must begin through one
person at a time, governments just
muck things up.
mom
To Kyala.. I have no time for
All my children and the English
channel plays things like the
McNeil Lerner Reports.. the King
is trying to get the peace process
going here.
