In Amman

 School Assembly, as seen from our apartment balcony (boys' school).

 Standard dress for women in Jordan.

 Carrefour: the mother of all super malls in Jordan.

 Waiting for shwarma. Yummy local sandwich deliciousness. Think the best gyro you've ever had.

 Call to prayer at our local mosque.

 On Mount Nebo, where Moses saw the Promised Land (remember, he wasn't allowed to step into it) and where it is said he was buried by the hand of God.

 Jordanian countryside. Lots of olive trees, grape vines, and goats. Charming.

 At the hot springs near the Dead Sea. I don't have any pictures right now, but it was AMAZING.

 View overlooking the Dead Sea.

 Close-up of our closest mosque.

 View of Jericho from Mount Nebo.

 Monument ontop of Mount Nebo.

 At a Yemenese restaurant: eating mahndi.

With two of our Jordanian friends, Hatam and Shlash.

That's my kind of research, especially the shwarma :)
