Yesterday we took a trip to northern Jordan where we visited many ancient cities and sites. First we stopped at Umm Qais, which is a city that had been used by both the Romans and the Ottoman Turks. From Umm Qais we could look into Lake Tiberius and on the other side Israel. It was still really far away, but it was cool to see. Then we traveled Jaresh, which is the most preserved Roman city in the Middle East. And finally, we went to a Muslim castle called Ajlun which was built during the Crusades to protect the road to Syria. Today is another relaxing day. I'm doing some laundry which as you all know is just a blast, but it will be nice to have clean clothes. I spent a couple hours talking to Basaam next door. Everyone is very friendly here, more so than in the United States. The weather is perfect here today: sunny, no clouds, with a slight breeze. Hopefully you all are having good weather.
