Life has been busy this past month. Here is a quick update for everyone. A few weeks ago I went to Jordan and saw many cool things. The two coolest were: 1.) Petra. This is the city where one of the Indiana Jones movies was filmed (Last Crusade I think). It was an ancient Nabatean city and is built entirely out of cliff walls. It is a very mystical place that was built by a very mystical people. 2.) A two story Starbucks Coffee in downtown Ammon. Some friends and I went and got coffee. It tasted like America and freedom and was absolutely delicious. The Starbucks itself was huge. I have never seen anything like it. I was very surprised at how western it was. I expected Jordan to be very middle eastern considering it does border Iraq (on the highway we saw a sign that said "To the Iraqi Borer" and that was weird). However, Ammon was exactly like a major city in the States, it was weird. I had the Gold Roast. Since Jordan I have been working on many final papers and studying for final exams. As of right now I am 3/4 of the way done with all my finals. My last one is on Friday morning. That is about all the news that I can think of. Tomorrow morning I am running from here in Jerusalem to Bethlehem along an ancient route that was traveled by Jesus, Paul, Abraham, Moses, and even Adam and Eve. Just kidding. It is actually a road called "Hebron Road" and is full of buses and cars. It should be a good morning run though. That is all I got.
