NOPE. I don't think so. I went to an incredible concert in the ancient Roman amphitheater and I decided to go talk to the lead singer, casual. Of course he was super excited to talk to us (Alex and I) and he told us "he loves us," but I'm pretty sure that's what he tells all of his fans. Anyways, we started a trend and everyone started flocking to him because the pretty Americans did it they thought they could too. Whatever.
This weekend I also took my first trip out of the city. Well, just barely. I went to the ruins of a Roman villa. The "gatekeeper" was this old local man who didn't speak a word of English but his kindness literally seeped through his pours. He let us into the ruins and brought us fresh figs- He demonstrated the Arab generosity you only hear about in books now a days.
I thought it would be perfectly ok to leave my towel and socks in my locker at the gym and reuse them once today before lugging them home to be washed- bad idea, don't try that at home!
To my astonishment, the "smoothies" I have been drinking like water, thinking I'm being super healthy, actually have a lot of sugar in them....And so do the dates I've been eating thinking they're just fruit?..
I am beginning to make my travel plans for the semester and I have decided to see a lot of places in Jordan and make a trip to Israel! Also, I have finalized my plans for the Eid and I'm going to Paris! Someone make a movie about me, like really.
This weekend I am going to Wadi Rum, Petra, and Aqaba with CIEE....140 camels traipsing through the desert. The poor Bedouins, they’re going to be terrified- I'll have to make sure I wear my pink pants or something so they don't sense any danger!
