Ajloun and Um Qais

So my latest trip was out to a castle in Ajloun and some beautiful ruins in Um Qais.  My life is dedicated to Arabic so I don't get out much, but when I do... its great.  I don't have much to say but enjoy the pics.

A part of the castle, it was pretty cool

Me and a castle!

So I've got some updated pics here.  Mostly pics of the apartment and some more of Jordan.

This our most frequently used royal throne along with its bedae(not too sure on the spelling) counter part that doesn't work unfortunately

Our hallway


Our Kitchen

 Our living room




My Bed


Coby sometimes uses his computer for eating and Facebook at the same time.

 The open market in Salt.  It probably was the closest thing yet to my western perception of an Arab market.

I thought this looked cool, it was in some building the king stayed in once.


This is some random amphitheater downtown, They call it the Roman stairs

Pretty Sunset


Coby... looking innocent


I love this picture, (Me, Coby and Jessica) Her head is cut off but we still accept her anyways

Pictures, as promised....

 This is the solution to all our airplane sleeping problems.

 The French apparently are cool with embracing the beret stereotype.


This is some national museum.  It really wasn't that cool but the outside, is amazing!

The only have decent self taken picture I had out of like 20.


 I just think the uniforms are deserving a picture here.

Me, in front of a big valley that the Jordan river flows through.  The other side is Israel.

A big Circular rock I felt obligated to be pictured by

Me and Coby at the suspected baptismal site of Jesus.

The Baptismal sight!

 Jeremy and Coby, I thought this was a good picture for whatever reason.

So my journey began about two weeks ago but now is the first time I have had internet more or less consistent in my life.  I do not like writing so I'm just gonna post pictures.

New Blog!

So Blogging is a first for me so I'm sending out early apologies if my blog posts are a little less than adequate.  I do promise to supply a satisfactory amount of pictures for your viewing.
