Our most recent quandry: how do you tell the UPS guy to get to your house when you live on an insignificant street in the middle of a large neighboorhood? Thank goodness for cell phones! "OK, you see hotel _________ over there?... No, no not that hotel, the other one... turn right... OK, OK, make an immediate right... go down past the mosque until you see the salon..."<BR/><BR/>Tedious.Sharon Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05703355117323440745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29309110.post-29634474713933286232007-07-19T19:22:00.000-05:002007-07-19T19:22:00.000-05:00That is interesting Pam!

It would really amaze you how many churches are in our little city. I think there are 5000 people that live here and sooooooo many churches. For the first few weeks I was convinced that Jon was going to get us in a car accident when he drove because he just HAD to look at all the different kinds of churches. He's gotten better about it now--but mainly because now he knows which church is what. Sometimes it is better if I drive so he can rubberneck at all of the old churches around here.

There was a real lack of them in SA as I recall. One Greek Orthodox, one American Orthodox, and way up north of the city a Coptic church too.<BR/><BR/>Blessings.

NONE. He asked the chef where the guacamole was -- to which the chef replied, "There are no avacados to be found in Jordan." Wow. I bought some less than a month ago but apparently they're either out of season or all the avacado trees died...Sharon Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05703355117323440745noreply@blogger.com
