Today we are off! Yeah! I slept late (8:00) and went for a swim. Now I am at
my home away from home, the Kipenski! Manicure at 11! At 1:00 we have a taxi to take
us to the Thieves market and parts unkown. Last night we went out with Mohammed a
friend we meet at one of the art musuems. By we I mean, Marylin, MiMi and I.
We went to a new spot for Falafel, hummos and pita and we ended up at the blue fig
for drinks, yeah! Today is Friday and it is the Muslim sabbath. Alot of things are
closed in the am as this is the time to go to the mosque. Around 1-2 things start
to re-open but it is pretty much a quiet day. The going out nights are Thursday
and Sunday. Tonight we are coming to the Kipenski for Salsa night. Let's see
what that translates to in Jordan.

I had this friend in Spain who was from Jordan and I used to dance salsa with him. He was amazing, so much rhythm in his blood! I am sure they are good! Or at least the music will be....

Hi Mom,
It's Becky, Your trip all sounds very fun! Seems like you are learning alot of interesting stuff about the people of Jordan. Sarah and I are gettin ready to go to Cony Island.... I really want to see it, and Sarah has never been. So I guess this will be a great experience for both of us! I am having a great time in NYC with my big sister. Yesterday Sarah and I went to visit Merlet, and don't trip, I got you a cute robe with rhinestones all over it! Well, I can't wait until you come home. But have a great time!
Love,
Becky
