On Jordan

For those of you who may not have heard, I have indeed been evacuated from Egypt. I'll speak more on my experiences later, but needless to say I'm once again enjoying some Americana. And by that I mean macaroni-and-cheese and trashy TV. I missed you, Jersey Shore.

I finally uploaded pictures from my trip to Jordan. I'm way behind on uploading posts, but I'll go ahead and join the bandwagon in blaming Mubarak. After all, he did flip the internet switch to 'off.'

In my 8 days in Jordan, I managed to see quite a bit of the country. I spent 3 days in the capital Amman for a Fulbright-sponsored ETA conference and the rest of the time moseying around the Hashemite Kingdom. Here are the links to the albums:

Dead Sea / Jordan River (Now featuring the site of Jesus' baptism)
Petra Day One / Petra Day Two (Rocks are, in fact, not just for jocks)
Wadi Rum (AKA where Transformers 2 was filmed)
Jerash and Ajloun (Castle-mania!)

More to come later, including maybe the only existing video of protests in Zagazig.
