  • Day 26- 38: Suprise, we saw where Jesus was born.

  • Bedouin 'Culture' - Jen's anecdotal list What have I discovered for myself about Bedouin peeps? Here is the list of items that strike me: They're resourceful. They can use whatever they have to get the job done. I've seen a wrench used as a Posted by jenofear in Jen's Blog | May 24, 2008
  • Birthday in the desert So I turned 40 on May 9th. Funny thing; Mehdi, one of the drivers here, has been saying that he's 19. However, the other day, I got my mitts on his ID and it turns out that he had Posted by jenofear in Jen's Blog | May 11, 2008
  • Bad Blog Entry First I'd like to apologise for the woeful state of my photo editing. The photos barely show up on the computer screen so I can't tell whether they're any good and sometimes I can't even tell what they're of. Second, Posted by jenofear in Jen's Blog | Apr 30, 2008

  • And now, the update Currently I'm in Wadi Musa (this is where Petra is - but I'll be visiting that later), waiting to catch a bus to Wadi Rum in the morning. On the bus here, there was a fight over whether the hatch on Posted by jenofear in Jen's Blog | Apr 4, 2008
  • A digression So...I'm a pretty good traveller. I always let go of expectation that things should be any particular way, or how they compare to home. Mostly. I think this is necessary in order to really see what's in Posted by jenofear in Jen's Blog | Apr 4, 2008
  • Arriving in Amman I've arrived in Amman, Jordan after a nine hour bus trip. I was the only non-Syrian on the bus and they plunked me down by a boy who fed me sunflower seeds and cookies. The rest of Posted by jenofear in Jen's Blog | Apr 2, 2008
