On the lighter side

Well today's post is not as deep as my last post. Want to switch things up with some funny. I have been counting down the days now till we embark on our journey to Jordan. It will be very interesting just getting there! Here is a list to show you the switches।
1.Take bus from Grambois to La tour D'Aigue
2. 10 min wait
3. Hop onto school bus from La Tour D'Aigue to Aix en Provence
4. 30 min wait
5. Take bus from Aix en Provence to Marseille airport
6. Take plane from Marseille to Frankfurt (Airport city =])
7. 9 hour layover in Frankfurt
8. Take plane from Frankfurt to Amman, Jordan. Arrive around 2 AM (yikes!)
9. Take taxi from Amman to hotel
10. Sleep
11. Take taxi from hotel to Wadi Rum

THEN FINALLY WE ARE THERE!
whew!

As you can see, we have a 9 hour layover in Frankfurt, or as they like to call it "Frankfurt Airport city." Oh goodness. Well, we are planning on doing a little shopping to stock up on some outdoor gear while we are in the airport city. We checked out the website and saw that they have an outdoor store, but they also have......A THEME SONG! It is the cheesiest and most amazing thing I have seen. It's so bad, it's good. It's a very nice little laugh and I am sure that it will be stuck in your head for the rest of the day. I'm still trying to get it out of mine.

It was a beautiful day today in the south of France. I took a good half hour and watched the sunset from my bedroom window. I have a heater right underneath the window which allows me to stay out for a long time and still be warm. The sunsets in France seem so much more magical than they do in the United States. Maybe, it is because I live in suburbia and we are engulfed by the smog of New York City, or I just haven't noticed them. Tonight, the sky looked like sherbet or if you're feeling fancy, "sorbet." Going from my right to my left and then down, the color scheme went; a mix of hot pink and light blue (cotton candy swirl, yummy!), to orange streaks, to a layer of aqua blue, then at the bottom was a gradient of yellow that got deeper at the horizon. It was a magnificent sight. I am going to miss these sunsets, but I get hope when I look at picture of sunsets in Wadi Rum. They are magnificent. There is no light pollution or grey smog to prevent their sunsets. I am looking forward to that because I guess I have become a sunset fanatic. It has to be my favorite time of the day. The sky is beautiful, dinner is just around the corner (thats my stomach typing there!), and all the good TV shows will be on soon. Ha! Gotta have my Heroes, Lost, and How I met your mother. If you get the chance, try and watch the sunset. It's very soothing and I find that it is the only time of the day where I don't think. That may sound funny, but you try to just not think. I try sometimes, but I realize that I am thinking about... not thinking! Sorry if that confused you. =]

I have also come to a smiley decision today. I like smiley faces that have " ] " as their mouth, not " ) ". It think it looks better and I like to use them in my blog a lot because I smile a lot in person.

Sorry for rambling about non-Jordan thingies. I will get back to the subject at hand. I have not packed my suit cases yet. I am a horrible packer, also a lazy one. I have a general idea of what I am going to pack, but I usually wait 'till the last possible minute. I have also been working on my Arabic speaking skills. Not coming along too smoothly. If you want to say "no" you have to make the noise like you are saying "le" like a very snooty French person. "Leeeeehhh" It will be quite a shock to see the very strange letters instead of what I am typing now. I don't even think of them as letters, in my mind they are more like loops. Loopidy Loopidy Loop. When you read Arabic you are supposed to read it right to left, but read numbers left to right. Wierd huh?

(Or maybe our "letters" are weird) Cue Twilight Zone music. do do do do...

I would also like to say thanks for people that read my blog! If you want to share my blog with friends please feel free, because I want to share my knowledge and experience in the middle east with as many people as possible. I also write pretty long posts, so maybe I will write shorter posts more frequently, but so far this is what is floatin' my boat. Well I hope you enjoy the "Frankfurt Airport City," theme song!

bisous.
