We went to the Jordan museum today. This are some of the first statues ever in the form of humans (kind of)
plaster covered skulls they added features after the person was already half rotted
haha this made me laugh... bottom left says "Sandstorms in the desert are part of environmental conditions that Bedouins are accustomed to." no joke.
The Jar Bearer... aka the pot head haha
this kind of looks like something I might draw hehe
very interesting really old arrows and pots and things
and more pots
I like this statue
this guy just looks so sad!
This is a cool mosaic
Dead sea scrolls. I saw these in Utah so I didn't really have to travel 7,000 miles to see them but still cool.
These were also part of the dead sea scrolls but they were written on copper plates. It was kind of funny because afterwards Miles said "what? why would anyone write on metal plates?" haha
Oh Amman
Back to Wust el-Balad! There are a ton of these little dress shops
We ate at the famous restaurant called Hashem that the king and queen ate at (See top picture)
And this was the food!
Then I did my grocery shopping, went home, did some homework, and then we went to Miles and Mikaela's apartment for a movie night. We watched Ocean's 11.
Anyways Goodbye:)
Haha I totally fell for the Petra thing there for a minute. You guys are actually going there soon, though, aren't you?
