Once we got to Amman, we really started living the good life. We were there for 3 nights, with Sarah's brother Peter flying over for the latter 2 nights. The 3 of us would then travel together for a week.
Luckily for us, our good friend Mo has an apartment in Amman that is associated with his family's business. Mo and his family and colleagues treated us amazingly. We had a driver for our entire 7 days in Jordan. Ahmed - he was the man. Ahmed loved to take us "arounding" throughout Amman and the rest of the country, and was quick to offer us his insights, even though he accidentally dumped a cup of coffee on Sarah at one point. We loved Ahmed, and are very grateful that he was there for us.
And then there was Yatti - one of the greatest things the country of Jordan has to offer, even though she's Indonesian and not Jordanian. Yatti lived in the apartment, and cooked and cleaned for us. I've never seen so much food. I'd sit down on the couch after a light snack of chicken, rice, lamb, paella, spagetti, salad, pita, and yogurt to find a fresh poundcake, tons of fruit, candy bars, and cheese. Tea and coffee was always around.
We really lived in luxury those three days in Amman - a billion thanks to Mo and his family for taking care of us.
George, It looks like you and Sarah are having a great time. Does Sarah have to/feel the need to wear a bhirka (sp?)?
