The People of Jordan


As with most of our adventures, the most memorable thing in Jordan wasn't an ancient site or a beautiful landscape, but it was the people.  They were all so welcoming and friendly.  Many would just lean out of their cars as they drove by to say "Welcome to Jordan!".  Here are a few of our new friends from this wonderful country...


Mosaic artists...





Friends met on the street...





Sami, who turned out a bit more complicated than we originally thought...



Abdullah, the donkey kid...




While not technically a person, we met this wonderful dog...



A Bedouin policeman of Petra...



Anjin, our guide in the backcountry of Petra...



Random kids...



A lady and her granddaughter, who offered us tea...






Raphael and Amanda from Paris, who taught us about photo jumping...



The incomparable Eid, one of the nicest guys around...



Girls scouts who all wanted to try out their english on us...



Hassam from Jerash, a good guide and mosaic salesman...



Solomon from Egypt, another good mosaic salesman...
