Jordan is probably the most amazing place I have ever been. I was nervous to visit this small country bordering Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Syria and Israel and surrounded by so much conflict (but was assured by my partners in crime that it was safe). And safe it was. What made this trip so incredible for me was not the historic or religious sites, or seeing a Wonder of the World, but it was the people. I have never met such warm, welcoming and respectful people. We found the people to be so loving, it was almost overwhelming at times.
After our late night arrival into Amman (and Ty and Jared's night out with some locals) we visited Aljoun Castle.
The kids had celebrity status with this group of incredibly sweet and loving Army nursing students. Otis wasn't sure about it at first, but then ate it up. Many people would grab Milly and kiss her and squeeze her cheeks and as you can see in the pick below she would make her body go limp and resist.
"You are welcome". Everyone said this to us. You could tell that locals were proud of their country and were happy to share it with others.

JERASH: Next we drove north to see the Roman ruins in Jerash.
This is one of my favorite pictures from the trip. All these sweet Jordanian nursing students surrounding us trying to talk to Milly.
