Salt

So I haven't posted in a while and I just want to let you all know, if you don't see a post for a while, it's OK; it just means nothing new or crazy has happened. Because I'm studying abroad, it's not really a vacation, I mean I take trips every now and then but not everyday. I promise, whenever something sweet or harmful happens or I feel like venting about something, you'll find a post.
Anyway, today a bunch of the SIT kids took a trip up to Salt. Salt is the oldest city in Jordan and one of the oldest in the Middle East region as a whole (probably making it one of the oldest in the world). Very cool city; we went to a few museums and junk and just explored the town. I took an obtrusive amount of photos because it was so beautiful. I'll put a few up in this post for you guys. After exploring a little bit, we visited the first school of Jordan, then we bumped into some kids playing soccer and we joined in. We didn't do too shabby but by "kids", I mean grown men who've probably been playing soccer since they were in the womb, quick buggers, really tough to play with them but we scored a goal or two. We then watched the sunset over the border of West Bank and Jordan while sipping on some tea. We got back around 6:30 or so and then I took a taxi back to my homestay. I tried a dish tonight that was phenomenal; it's called faseekh. Basically, it's really old fish that has just been sitting in salt for one year, then they take it out and put it in warm water until the majority of salt is washed away. That stuff wakes you up, it was delicious. All for now, thanks for reading.
