Steven (age 13 1/2) always volunteers to drive whenever we're going somewhere. Maybe he should start with the tractor?

Day 10 in Jordan--The things I've done!
Sat, July 4th at 10:49am
This is a summary of what I've done in the last 10 days—
- Seen a camel on the side of the freeway
- Walked on the side of the highway with no sidewalk or line or anything
- Seen a person smoking while at work
- Played soccer with kids who live in a tent
- Been woken at 3:30 AM by the call to prayer
- Done laundry in a machine that has to be filled with water by hand
- Hung my laundry in a semi-public place
- Almost tripped on the uneven sidewalk a million times
- Stressed out about eating one handed/handing the money to the cashier with the right hand
- Taken the sacrament with pita bread
- Heard people bear their testimony in Arabic
- Had lemon with mint drink
- Dance party on the roof/soccer field past midnight
- "Fast Friday--it is alliteration so you have to do it!"
- Seen the Mosque so full on Friday that men lined both sides of the street praying in unison (it was really breathtaking).
- Seen a guy sitting in the middle of the freeway--IDK why but he hadn't been run over yet when we passed...
- Haggled with a taxi cab driver
- Walked half a mile in heels, partly up a very steep unpaved hill
- Hiked on the Dana Nature Reserve--saw the village also
- "Be back to class in 20 minutes, Inshah Allah"--so if it isn't God's will we don't have to come back...
- Seen a sign that said the speed limit was "100 Trucks/110 Cars"--evidently it was in kilometers per hour lol
- Seen Sesame Street performance live--in Arabic!
- Celebrated a holiday most people around me were not celebrating
That is about it--so yeah, pretty boring :P I hope all is going well! Happy 4th of July!
