Artifacts

My wanderings in the last few weeks have led to some awesome discoveries.  On one walk from my house to Downtown via Wadi Saqra, I found three things of note.

First, I saw a bra in the gutter.  Having recently attended an American college, my first thought was, "Ouch.  Someone had a rough night."  Then I remembered that I'm in Jordan so it probably just fell off a clothes line. 

The second thing I saw was a lonely UNO card.  Considering that children don't wear seatbelts here, I'm shocked that the whole deck wasn't littered along the road.

Finally, I happened upon a car with a peculiar license plate.  Did they take a wrong turn en route to North Carolina?

And then yesterday, it rained!  Apparently, it had previously rained while I was in Dubai, but this was my first rain in Amman, and it was quite a sight to behold.  The streets aren't really designed to handle the water, so huge lakes form even from a thirty minute storm.

So that wasn't a real post, but I thought I needed something positive to counteract the negativity of my last dispatch.
