Home …Sweet sweet home!
I should be heading home in a couple of days… and time can not move any slower. I think it will take me around 13 hours since it’s a direct flight but add to that the time I should spend at the airport beforehand and you will easily get some 19 hours or so. Tragic,I know.
It’s funny how much I miss some seeminlgy insignificant bits of my life in Amman. I do miss my family & friends,that goes without saying. But I also long for my mom’s superb cooking, and for the olive trees. Weird? One would think I wouldn’t miss that since I’m in a place noted for its beautiful nature. I am literally surrounded by trees and lakes and I still miss the blessed olive trees. I haven’t seen not one olive tree during my entire stay here and I tell you it’s just not perfect without olive trees.
I came across a brilliant site the other day that is basically a gallery (or galleries) of pictures taken in Jordan. I had to cage the tears in my eyes and I enjoyed feeling close to my corner of the world once more. Here’s the link to the site : http://www.pbase.com/mansour_mouasher/amman&page=all
The person behind the lense knows what he’s doing and he does it right.Two thumbs way up! And since we’re at it, I would like to share with you the featured picture of this entry, a picture I took tonight of a toy sheep that I seated on a little chair. (It sounds more twisted that it really is).
I should note that I will not be able to add any entries during the coming few days simply because I will not have access to the internet. *sigh*
