Hello All,
So it is hot in Jordan, I don't mean warm... HOT! I feel like I am constantly sweating; nights are wonderful... not too cold and not too hot, but during the day it's nice to hide in the apartment and wear tank tops.
Other than a lovely brunch on Saturday morning (and meeting plenty of wonderfully inspiring people), the past two-three days have been rather quiet. Most of them have been spent in the apartment trying to get over jet lag. I also must admit that I have been rather chicken about going out and exploring by myself, but today I did it! It wasn't anything super brave or awesome, just around the block to buy some food... I'm not really quite sure what I bought, but it was DELICIOUS... with a naan bread bottom with delicious meaty (lamb maybe) spicy goodness on top and a guava juice! I don't normally eat meat, but at the time I was kind of flustered and just wanted to buy something to eat. The shopkeeper was very kind and we had a bit of a conversation before I walked home. Tomorrow I think I will go on a quest to find manaqeesh or baked bread with cheese and zatar (thyme) and perhaps some sweets. Also finding a bank would most likely be a good idea... eventually I will get to Rainbow Street, which is close to where I will be working.
What else can I tell you? Noosa (the cat) and I have become friends... my current roommates haven't been home much in the past couple of days; one is working long days, the other is on a trip, so Noosa and I have been keeping each other company. Other than that, not much... I will try to take some pictures in the near future to let you all see a bit of where I am living.
Love from Jordan,
Kate

I'm glad you got some good food and feline company! :)
ReplyDeleteYes Noosa is quite the dear! We've had a couple of naps together :).
