We are at the University this am. Students are dropping like flies. We went to the\Bookset cafe for dinner last night. It is a happening place for ex-pats. We even had Corona and chips. I had a veggie plate and the others had actual pasta Hummos\and pita were not served. Today we are going to have political discussions\and\ visit a Palestinian artist. Tonight we will go to Queen Noor's Educational Center, at the Cultural Center. Last night, at the Bookset we sat on the\roof and we could see the hillside lights and the minerets of the mosks. Very beautiful. \ \jordan comes to life about 5pm. then it stays awake till 1 or 2pm. The\usual dinner time is around 9 or 10 pm. \\\\\\\its so very safe here. we feel no fear being out at night, as everyone else is too. \\\\I hope everyone is planning their next trip to Jordan so you can see \Petra. \it is pretty big news here and everyone is so excited. \ I think it will bring many tourists and their YEN and EUros here because let me tell you the dollar is very very weak.. our dollar is\
worth 70 cents on the jd...the group dynamics are kinda fun and \i've made some friends on this trip.. I will try and post fotos today or tomorrow..\

Morocco was the same way. After 5pm the city just came alive. Mainly I am sure because of the heat, most people dont hang on the streets midday, cause really who wants to fry like that? What I thought was cool, was all the market and street vendors and food. And although men and women are seperate, I thought it was awesome to see how close men are with one another, Maroc men would hang out very close and walk the streets laughing - same for women. And nothing was at all homo-erotic. Just friendships and community. I really found that to be very cool.
