A long weekend in the horizon - time to go a bit offline. I will be leaving my cyber realm behind and exploring culture at its purest.
Off to Karak I go, my city in the proud south. I will miss the fireworks and the promised parade on May 25th, Jordan’s Independence Day, but my southern sky has a zillion stars - more fascinating, more familiar and closer to earth.
Should you care to join me in admiring Samara - Karak you only need to visit these pages and enjoy the visuals. I am hopeful this visit would grant me an opportunity to learn something new, and you may trust I will share.

Say hello to my city for me! And I miss that night sky with those zillion stars…walking at night in a village. I guess it has something to do with lack of lights and pollution.
I enjoyed those pictures very much Tololy! My grandfather and all my father’s side of the family live near Irbid, Jordan, and those pictures are remarkably similar to what my grandfather’s home looks like. No electricity, far away bathroom, stone wall and such. My family and I will hopefully be visiting there soon - now i just have to convice them to go to Karak also! Maybe I’ll get one of my cousins or uncles to take me for a visit. I’m excited!
