Andrew and Nancy in Amman! مغامرات نانسي وأندرو في عمّان خلال هذا الصيف في الجامعة الاردنية. Tuesday, October 10, 2006. Before we left for Jordan, they told us to avoid the salads. No lettuce. None. Before I went to Russia, they told us to steer clear of salds. No lettuce. None! And it is true. It's hard to have salad taken away from you when that is really one of the most common vegetables eaten in the United States. In the Middle East it can make you sick. In Russia it can make you sick. Why? That said...

Andrew and Nancy in Amman! مغامرات نانسي وأندرو في عمّان خلال هذا الصيف في الجامعة الاردنية. Tuesday, August 15, 2006. The next leg of our journey. We're busy finishing packing, cleaning the apartment (I just found a huge cockroach under the table! And thinking about leaving Jordan. A sad thought, but there is a golden lining: we'll be traveling through the United Arab Emirates and Turkey on our way home. Maybe we can post something while in Turkey!

Andrew and Nancy in Amman! مغامرات نانسي وأندرو في عمّان خلال هذا الصيف في الجامعة الاردنية. Tuesday, June 13, 2006. So our entrance fee to the park for 2 days was 4 JD instead of the 27 JD we would have spent with just ISIC cards.). Earthquake. The Nabateans. The pictures below are of the aquaducts. (Behind Nancy and the Statues is the aquaduct). A Dam in the Siq with Aquaducts. Nancy on a big rock above the Aquaduct. Andrew in a tunnel by the Aquaduct. Near the Bab as-Siq there is an Obelisk Tomb. ...

Andrew and Nancy in Amman!: Not Constantinople
http://andrewheiss.blogspot.com/2006/08/not-constantinople.html
Andrew and Nancy in Amman! مغامرات نانسي وأندرو في عمّان خلال هذا الصيف في الجامعة الاردنية. Wednesday, August 23, 2006. Here we are in Istanbul, easily the most European city we've set foot in since leaving Austria. Me by a hollow (still alive) tree in Topkapi. Our guide was pretty humorous. He didn't speak English very well. Surprizingly no one speaks English very well here. Combine that with my lack of Turkish and it is pretty much a recipe for disaster. I would have thought a lot more...Andrew and I ...

Andrew and Nancy in Amman! مغامرات نانسي وأندرو في عمّان خلال هذا الصيف في الجامعة الاردنية. Sunday, August 13, 2006. Oh, no: Out again! Yes, we ran out of water today.again. Hopefully this is the last time. Afterall, this is. Run out of water. It's a toss up! A few weeks ago we decided to keep all of our water bottles to see how much we were drinking. We collected quite a few- and most of those are 2 litres! The Water Bottle Graveyard. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The next leg of our journey.

Andrew and Nancy in Amman! مغامرات نانسي وأندرو في عمّان خلال هذا الصيف في الجامعة الاردنية. Wednesday, August 09, 2006. When I got over to him, he introduced himself as Franco - hardly an Arabc name - from Egypt. After talking for a while, I discovered that he owned a pizzeria in Milan for 8 years and spoke some Italian. So, we hit it off. All in a warm, soft, pita bread. And left, not really thinking to go back, for some dumb reason. I got a falafel sandwich and ate it happily. Almost every day this su...

Andrew and Nancy in Amman!: Water Bottle Battles
http://andrewheiss.blogspot.com/2006/08/water-bottle-battles.html
Andrew and Nancy in Amman! مغامرات نانسي وأندرو في عمّان خلال هذا الصيف في الجامعة الاردنية. Sunday, August 13, 2006. We have a lot of fun things that we do in our apartment to keep Ezra (and ourselves) entertained. Ezra and I will play a game kind of like hide-and-go-seek, but instead of Ezra ever finding me, I jump out and scare him and chase him all around the apartment. Ezra also likes to get "stuck." This involves tickle torture. We also have been known to engage in pillow fights. Oh, no: Out again!
