Hey Kids! A friend of mine has been living in Jordan since September. She is there for a year, gathering research for her Ph.D. dissertation. Some of you may know of whom I am speaking, but I can't say her name here for mysterious non-disclosable reasons. Her online name is Frances Goodman--I can't reveal her true identity at the peril of being forced to eat uranium sushi. At any rate, she has a blog that I read diligently, and which is chock full of stuff you need to know. Check it out for a good daily dose of cultural education. Some of the posts are from her husband, K, who is still here in the states, so don't get too confused when you see posts about California.
There is also a permanent link to her blog on the right in that big linky mess over there. I believe it's under the title "Jordan and Knitting." I haven't seen a post about her knitting projects in a while; I presume that she's too busy with her studies and her trips to Syria and Egypt. As an aside, the window in the photo is not Jordanian, it's Syrian. But it IS a window, and it is pretty and fits rather nicely with the title I chose for this post.
Thanks for the plug, I'm honored. I really love that mosque in Damascus. It's where Muslims believe Jesus will return on the day of judegment. In the mean time, it's really beautiful there.
