Day 17 Biblelands trip

Day 17 On the way to the airport for our flights to Turkey we stopped at the Citadel of Amman.. where David sent Uriah to battle possibly where he was killed, as this would be the likely place to defend the city (2 Sam 11 ancient city of Ammon)

Last look at Amman from the lookout . Our guide shared his sadness with the fact that orruption and greed dominates the politics and the cost of living and low wages with very high unemployment rates..up to 30%..makes life very difficult for the average Jordanian family The gap between the rich and poor is increasing and the national debt has doubled from 20 billion to 40 billion in 20 years 😢
More interesting Middle Eastern driving..where herds of goats actually waited for the lights to change on a major road before their goatherd led them across.. Better disciplined than a lot of the humans here 😂
Flight from Amman to Ankara. with great perspective of Israel, Cyprus and Turkey from the air..then Ankara to Izmir.to meet our new guide. Arrived at our hotel for a late dinner after 9pm excited for the next part of the adventure 😊Leggi altro
