Amman, Jordan

This morning, and again tonight we opened our windows to hear the haunting sound of a call to prayer. It came softly over the mountains, then spread throughout the rooftops of the white city walls. I could imagine millions of bodies, dropping to their knees and offering up prayers to Allah. The sound is hard to describe, both beautiful and haunting at the same time.

We are headed out soon to a traditional Lebanese meal with our friends. It is a 30 minute walk through the city. The air is cool and refreshing tonight.

Hopefully I will have more pictures to post soon!

Tomorrow we swim in the Dead Sea :)
