The panoramic view of the capital city of Amman
In one of the beautiful street suburbs of Amman where you can actually pick apples and olives along the way home in the neighborhood (...then run before the owner catches you! Hahaha!), reminder, don't try to eat those olives, their raw and very bitter, believe me, I tried once, eww!
Amman at night: The city is quiet at night, except for those noisy vehicles running around. I loved to walk one time at a cool breezy night looking for a barber shop... I found one nearby. December temperature is usually wet and cold with occasional rain showers.. and it's so depressing. Snow flakes starts to fall beautifully when you look at it by the light post at night.
Umm Qais: I just wonder why the columns here are much darker than the ones in Jerash, both are of thousand years old.
Umm Qais
Situated 110 km north of Amman on a broad promontory 378 meters above sea level with a magnificent view over the Yarmouk River, the Golan Heights, and Lake Tiberias, this town was known as Gadara, one of the most brilliant ancient Greco-Roman cities of the Decapolis; and according to the Bible, the spot where Jesus cast out the Devil from two demoniacs (mad men) into a herd of pigs (Mathew 8:28-34).
