Jordanian Morning… in June 2012


Please don’t say anything… please please don’t….

When I was in Jordan, I did put up posts from my blackberry- they took forever- but oh well.. it was something at least… But they were incomplete and there were no pictures so here they are…

We rented a car at Amman airport- Mr. R thought it was high time we rent a BMW (well we actually got a great deal- and it made him oh so happy- how could I say no)… and drove toward Dead Sea… Our plan was to drive to Petra via the dead sea, while stopping at Mount Nebo on the way… And so we drove… once we took the turn toward Mount Nebo following signboards…….. And we drove and drove… finally we saw an army checkpoint- where they asked us for our documents (prolly just to prove a point- but who cares)..had we gone from the dead sea- the route was shorter and easier- but this was longer…. we wondered if we were on the right track, when we suddenly turned off and reached Mount Nebo- The pictures speak for themselves…

A few people didn't know they had to buy tickets to Mount Nebo

Let’s just say that I tried to be smarter than my husband and took the forbidden track- what I came across was a simple dead end- a locked gate where they were restoring the roof…

What a beautiful welcome and introduction to Jordan- the Bible has always enthralled me- I don’t think I can ever do Israel until I lose loads of weight- I just WONT walk that much- someday I must start a weight loss blog- but till then- traveling is my passion and I am so glad I finally started on Jordan!

Thanks you guys……for putting up with me
