Well, we’ve just finished up our second day in Jordan.<\/p>\n
Last night, we went went to a Turkish bath.\u00a0 I had been to one when I went to Turkey several years ago, and so I was really looking forward to it again.\u00a0 I definitely was not disappointed.\u00a0 It was a relaxing time of sweating it out in the steam room, soaking in the sauna, being bathed by a large Jordanian man (we were both wearing swimsuits, so it wasn’t weird \ud83d\ude42 ), and then getting a massage.\u00a0 If you ever get the chance to have an authentic Turkish bath, go for it!<\/p>\n
Today, we went to a couple of places to see some Roman ruins.\u00a0 Have I mentioned that it’s so beautiful here?\u00a0 It’s amazing.\u00a0 Hills and trees everywhere.\u00a0 The weather is a lot cooler than Doha, too.\u00a0 It’s so refreshing.\u00a0 I didn’t get to take as many pictures today as I would have liked, but since the reason was that it was raining, I won’t complain too much.\u00a0 The nice drizzle was something that I have really been missing since moving to Doha.\u00a0 It’s a nice change from the sizzling sauna that is the Doha summer.<\/p>\n
Well, I’m off.\u00a0 Alicia and Trey, sorry to disappoint about the pics.\u00a0 We don’t have great internet access, and it would take FOR-EV-VER to get them all uploaded from here.<\/p>\n
Oh, tomorrow is our day at the Dead Sea!\u00a0 Best…. birthday…. ever!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
