Jordan University

Okay, I got one image loaded. I have 3 more to go, but guess what, the computers
are freezing. Today we went to Jordan University. We meet with Dr. Mahjoob Zweri,
a specialist in Middle East Politics, located in the Center for Strategic Studies
at the University. (www.jcss.org)We discussed many topics, including Iran. Jordan
and the other Arab nations are worried about Iran but NOT because of their
NUCLEAR stuff, because they are Shia...the NUCLEAR threat is hardly a worry here..
(funny how that seems to be the BIG deal for Bush and his crew)....
Thhings are going more smoothly today and roll is being taken! We had lunch
at the student union where all the tables have cloths and they use real silverware.
Lunch was hummus, pita, babagonash, chicken with rice and some kind of heavenly
pistascho dessert.. (no I didn't eat the chicken or the rice)..it was 3 dinars each
or about $4.00...by the way the DOLLAR is NOT strong.. for $100 dollars I got 64
euros and for $100 I got $70 dinar..
We are going to dinner later and we are going to try and go out for beer and
hooka, I'm doubtful as its such a man's world I don't think we'll be allowed..

Well good to see that you aren't getting left behind anymore. But good to see that you are seeing many different things that our wonderful world has to offer. By the way, how is the food over there compared to truly med? And keep the posts comin, it gives me something to do in the morning before class.

Tried to call yesterdy but it wanted to go to voicemail. Will try again today. Cooper loves his binkie and sleeps until it falls out. All we have to do is replug it and he is off to sleep again. Hot and muggy here. We will swin in the lake today or go to one of the falls that has a swimming hole. Be good (right) or at least safe. VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
