Our House. We're on the ground floor. That's our gate to the left.
We get to buzz people in and everything!
Front patio with little garden.
View from the front door.

to the right-living room, full bath and master bedroom (our room)
straight ahead-exit to back patio, roommate's bedroom
Living room. Notice the couch, loveseat, and 3 armchairs.
You need lots of seating because strict Muslims will sit only by their spouse or by themselves.
I caught my roommate, Brooke, reading.
This is a pretty regular thing here to have a shower head coming out from the wall. All the floors have drains. Luckily, this is our second bath so we never use this shower.
Our kitchen. We have fruits and veggies scattered everywhere drying. It's a process to have everything washed the right way so we can can eat it.
* we have these blinds in all our rooms. They are FANTASTIC, when you roll them all the way down they block out all light. I wonder where I can find them back home?
Full bathroom. Notice the Sponge Bob Square Pants bathmat? It's the most decent one we could find.
Our room. Just off the full bath. "Pretty dang exciting, hu?"
We had such a great time soaking up the sun, eating, swimming, and snorkeling.
The snorkeling was the best I've ever seen!

Rice, Goat's Milk, Lamb.
Everyone had to eat with their right hand, even me, the lefty.
final step- cup hand and use thumb to push ball into your mouth.
Local Bedouin kids looking for money. They were yelling at us,
A view from inside the green cave, everywhere else was desert.
As we were enjoying a picnic, a goat herder brought his goat's down for a drink.
I was a little uneasy about stinky goats rooting around by me and my lunch.
I swear to you the goats were eating garbage.
The scenery was gorgeous!

Check out our bus driver's hair! The comb-over didn't quite comb over.
Breakfast at Ashraf's house. Jordanians are SO hospitable and generous.
This is breakfast. At noon. We'd already had breakfast at home, Ashraf bought us falafel in the car, and we were expected to eat all of this on pitas.
There is a 360 view of the whole city.
Look how the sun sets behind the layer of smog. It's just... breathtaking!
