Marhaba!
That's Arabic for hello or hi
Today was pure joy - it is so late, again, that i must save the details for the next day
in-shah-Allah- but a quick list:
--meeting a member of Parliament whose work record is one of the most astounding resumes I have ever heard who stimulated my brain remarkably
--a private meeting with the mayor of Amman and the wait in his office was memorable - i'll tell you about the orange juice pulp later!
--lunch from a 'happening' take-away place bustling with action and busy people
--trafficked roads but the roadside activities are fascinating
--an hour shoppng spree in a 'souk' or market - ring ring RETAIL calling!!!!
--a quick stop in a fast food (kinda) restaurant and discovering my NEW fave dessert - think warm sweetened cheese+++
--a demonstration Jordanian wedding
--sweet sweet sweet children who picked me outta the crowd and talked in Arabic and English - thier charm was unmeasurable!!!
--home here tired

Ok so I had to open a Google account to talk to you. Your blog address you gave out was wrong but I finally figured it out. It should be: kev-injordan.blog.com and you had an @ between jordan and blog. Glad to hear you are having a good time - why are they letting a gay guy near a shopping center. Don't forget the Queen is really a queen not the queens that you know (LOL). Keep the economy going.
