Today was jam-packed with all kinds of fun...
MOSQUE.
.

We went to the King Abdullah Mosque.
It was absolutely beautiful, and very interesting to learn more about Islam and the Muslim religion.
Rockin' the Muslim style.
CITADEL OF AMMAN.
We explored these ruins and took many a photo here . . .

JABBOK RIVER & LUNCH
Lunch was absolutely A*M*A*Z*I*N*G*
We stopped a place called the Green Room and partook of delicious homemade pitas, shiskabobs, and ended with a delightful orange for dessert . It twas especially fun to watch them make the pita bread - which was divine if I may add .
Here at the Jabbok river we read scriptures and sang a few hymns .
JERASH.
OK - prepare yourselves for yet another amazing adventure.
I didn't know we were going to Jerash - I thought the highlight of the trip to Jordan would be Petra.
But, Jerash was soooo sweet.
Jerash is an amazingly preserved Greco-Roman city. In fact I believe it is the largest ancient city that still stands today. I loved walking around and exploring - I felt like I was in Hercules or something.
There were amphitheaters, pillars galore, streets, buildings, monuments, courtyards, chariot racing complex...the works!

CAR MUSEUM.
The finale of the day was stopping at the Jordan Automobile Museum, which featured many stylin' cars of Jordan King's and what not...
