Arrival in Amman

On the ground, antiquities abound

We arrived at 4am this morning, so it already feels like a double day. I rember as a kid my dad talking about his Navy days, and when he had 4 hour on, 4 hour off "watches" whiched repeated for many days on end. That's kinda like what I feel like I am doing, and so far it is working out ok to keep ahead of any jet lag, readjustment. Amman is a busy city, PICT1602.JPG

some changes since I saw it 10 years ago, but much the same. We visiten the Citidel, a very moving ancient hilltop site, with intact Roman columns and remains of both Byzantine chaples and ancient Mosques, truly a land of multiple heritages. Roman colu.., Amman.JPG

A highlight was seeing several pages of the authentic Dead Sea Scrolls on display in the Museum at the Citidel.
