In Jordan!

So we're in our hotel in Amman. We're not anywhere near being in downtown, we're way the freak outside by the airport, and we're stuck here until tomorrow morning, unfortunately... A couple of us were hoping to explore the city.

The plane ride wasn't all that eventful... It's weird that it was like... over 12 hours ago I was in New York talking to you. We flew over spain!!!! I looked at it out the window (until the stewardess kinda yelled at me to close it). It looked gorgeous, very hilly and lots of farms and little towns. I also saw Italy and Greece and we flew over Israel in about 10 minutes. It was kinda cool.

I actually slept on the plane. I know, amazing. And I had 6 hours of sleep, haha. But I was sitting next to my friend Brittany Wurtz. I really like her. But yeah, we just kinda leaned on each other and snoozed. I probably slept for 4 or 5 hours. Yay! I was across the aisle from these absolutely adorable arabic kids. This one little girl was about three and had curly dark hair and really light eyes and was sooo cute. She kept looking at me, and I said "Ahlan, ya jamila" (hi cutie) and she got all shy =]

So, I made a friend here in the hotel! His name is Hamza, and he runs the gift shop. He was all excited I could speak Arabic, he said I do it pretty well. And then I wrote something for him, and he was even more excited and said I had good handwriting =]

We leave tomorrow at 9 am, and until then we're just chillin here in the hotel. It's about 8 pm right now. I'll update you when I can =]
