Today we had our first Arabic lesson. Yes, I did very well. I know the teacher's
name is Mohameded. That's about it!
I also got in a morning swim. Yes, I have to wear the rash guard and shorts but
its a small price to pay, the pool is about 40 feel in length with a tile finish.
Yummy. Breakfast is very nice, in the hotel. There are olives, yogurt, cereals
honey, eggs, meat, halavah and turkish coffee.
After Arabic we went on a city tour. Jordan is very beautiful. Most of the
buildings are white limestone. We drove by the palace and we toured the Citadel which
is an ancient Roman Ruin. We also visited an old roman ampitheater and musuem. Can
I tell you how hot it is here? A billion degrees would not even cover it.
We had lunch in resturant downtown. Very "homemade" food, rice, chicken, veggies
and cake for desert. Most of the women are covered to some degree. Only the tourists
have on capri's or short things. There are NOT alot of tourists here. I am wearing
skirts and long sleeves and my head is covered. I am the only one in the group
doing this but it just seems to be the respectful thing to do. There are very
few Jordainian women with uncovered heads.
Tonight we are going to a film festival at the Jordan Culture Center. We'll see
how that goes. Not too much partying going on. Beer, wine etc are not around much.
Only at night. If you want to call me my cell is up and running.. Just dial my
number and it should ring I'm connected with JoMOBCom!!!
