Jordan and Syria: Way too much going on

Petra, a world wonder in Jordan

Me riding Casanova!!
Old city of Palmyra, Syria

Way too much going on to spend time behind a computer and tell you about our adventures in Syria and Jordan. In one word, it has been AMAZING. We went to a couple of mosques, the national Museum in Damascus and the old city of Palmyra. I have been sick over 2 hamburgers, bought a leather jacket, had a haircut in Palmyra (very brave I was told later) and rode a camel called Casanova. Everywhere people invite us for tea and we end up staying in shops for hours. My mum always smokes a waterpipe with apple tobacco. Yesterday we traveled to Jordan, Petra and today we saw the amazing sites that get blown up in Indiana Jones. Everywhere you go you are offered a donkey as taxi (You want ferrari? Special price for you!).

Syria and Jordan: At the border the costums officer whistles at you when checking your passportphoto, every mother will have a son for you to marry and a Bedoin will ask your family how many camels you cost.
