More News from Amman







This a view of the city mixed in with the ruins of the Citadel.
Me at the Ampitheatre
This is me in front of the ruins of the Temple of Hercules.
This is a picture of the Ummayad Palace in central Amman. It's on top of a large hill and you can see the whole city from there.

Class was cut short today which was really nice because I was kind of getting burned out. In our afternoon class we learned that, as a class, we have to sing for Jordanian students at the university. As part of our afternoon class, we traveled to downtown Amman. We went to the old Roman Citadel, the Temple of Hercules, the Ummayad Palace. We also saw the Roman Ampitheatre where we watched a concert from later that night. We have a day off tomorrow which is really needed but Saturday we are back to our travels when we go to Jaresh and Umm Qais. I'm sure I'll post about my adventures then. Hope all is well with everyone. Ma'a salaama!

Thanks so much for posting the pictures and commentary. I enjoy hearing/seeing what you are up to. It is also fun to have someone else posting on the blog - doesn't seem so much like just Cait and I.
