Paying the campus of the University of Jordan a visit today was a refreshing, although exhausting, trip.

I had some paper work to do and for that cause I suffered in the heat of this dog day, and I walked too much while entertaining a splitting headache and a case of severe blues (I bought a book and even that did not help. This is how grave the situation was).

Nonetheless, as I was making my way from point A (being one of the portals of the campus), to point B (being some centre of some sort located, conveniently, at the other end of the globe) to have my year book picture taken, I encountered the most eccentric thing. An old black train on display, permanently, on campus. Look at the pictures provided for a visual account of the meeting.

With today’s too much sun, and the conditions aforementioned, I did not bother to change the settings of the camera. Therefore, do pardon the awkward coloration of those shots.

There were two lovers seated right behind the beautiful black train and, respecting their privacy, I opted for the funny positioning of the tree to the left to “conceal” their “identities”. One never knows who is reading one’s blog, and I would hate it if someone gets shot as a consequence.

Finally, the jewel of this post, and evidence of my (only?) act of public property vandalism. A street light base with my name carved into it using a wooden stick that had fallen from a nearby tree. It was a regular morning where I was going, again, from point A to point B, and I noticed that this base of cement is still fresh and accepting of any artistic additions. Now Tololy will forever remain in the U of J, the picture is proof of this romanticism.
