Well.... I have arrived in Jordan and already our first two days have been full of bumps and adventures. Jordan is so beautiful. The weather has been warm, but definitely bearable with a breeze that helps. Today we met with the Senator.
After spending an hour or so with the Senator we went and has a quick meeting with the Mayor. Both men were very nice and provided us with a lot of interesting facts and information. Everyone we have met has been so welcoming, especially Geda's mom and her neighbors! :)
We went to a market today that was very crowded and full of interesting things. 
I didn't buy anything yet. I decided I should wait and see more first. Then we went back to Citadel and watched the sunset. It was so pretty.
After that we went to one of King Abdullah's huge parks to watch a mock traditional wedding. It was really neat. The portion of the park where it was being held has been turned into a summer camp for kids 8-12 year olds. We learned a little about the camp and it was very amazing what they are doing there.
Now I am very tired and should get to bed. I haven't really been sleeping much. We have been staying up until at least 1am talking, well last night it was waiting for our luggage and then unpacking since it never made it on our flight, so by the time I get to bed it is around 2 and I have been waking up at 6am. I think it is catching up to me.
Tomorrow is going to be another fun day full of new adventures so I will write more later!
