Amman with a View

This is just a quick post to let everyone know that I have arrived in Amman, Jordan. After what felt like two days of travel, and an extended stop in Frankfurt, Germany, I arrived very early this morning. From the back of a Mercedes taxi I peered into the dark trying to discern any view, and any image of Amman I could but knowing that I was only a 99JD (about $160 CDN) cab ride to the Iraqi border my mind was hardly focused. It was a surreal trip into the city, only a few kilometres separated a sign directing drivers to either the Saudi or Iraqi border and another advertising Chicken Mc Nuggets.
