Great time for dinner last night. We were invited to a Jordanian families' home for dinner. A msingle mother (she is seperated for a loooong time) and her 2 daughters. Mom is in full scarf, etc. and daughters are just like our 20 year old girls, jeans and boots and cute tops, nose rings, etc. Very charming.
They all spoke perfect English so we could talk about anything and they were delighted to share their views on politics and their Moslem culture. They love Americans and also feel that terrorists are an ultimate evil. They have had terrorism in their own country against their own people too, so they know how that feels. They also belive very strongly in their Moslem religion, although the young people do not practice so much like the older generation does, but return to that as they have families and get older. Very much like us.
We had "Upside Down" dinner. Rice and chicken cooked in big stew pot, then turned upside down on the platter to make a big cake like presentation. Very delicious. And the hummus everywhere is fantastic.
Still in Jordan and today we will be going to Madaba and eventually Petra.

I have not had internet access in several days and when I did, I ran out of time and couldn't publish a new blog. Should have updates now.
Getting homesick and have a week to go yet.
