   Very very nice pictures.
   They remind me of the road to Jenin on the other side of the Jordan river.

   I just wish our Spring weekends were a little less hazy and dusty this year. My camera hasn’t been enjoying the sights it is used to.

   Claustrophobia is right! This weekend I reached the apex of my inability to tolerate being in the city 24/7, and when I do go out, only going from house to house, and only having a Friday off to do so. I need to go someplace; my traveling boots (a.k.a. New Balance five-year old sneakers) are calling my name. Thanks for the catalyst!

    Za3tar, ola: thanks!

    Dave: tell me about it….im thinking of turning eye-rubbing into an olympic sport

    UmmFarouq: you should always answer the call of old New Balance shoes.

    Thanks for posting this, I think life in Amman has become so hectic and stressful, and we do live in a stone city with no parks and trees, I love going outside, it refreshes my senses

    Hello! Nice blog…I stumbled over this as I googled Another Kind of Green__one of my most favorite John Mayer songs. AND, Amman caught my eye as well! I used to live there…lovely photos! It is a beautiful country…

    Fantastic pictures buddy,
    Really really nice,
    Does the Khamsin effect (fifty in arabic) only happen in Amman?

    I should make a blog about visiting the UK countryside where I come from for you all.
