Tip of the Iceberg

Well, it has been some time since I have written. So much has happened since we have arrived that I have no time to think, process, and then blog about. I will start with a list of the people we will be living with and be around, probably butchering names.

Emileen- French, helping family

Mohammed Sabah – head of household and owner of Sunset Camp

Eptisam- oldest daughter 16

Jareher- second oldest daughter 13

Jaqura- oldest son 17

Mohammed Hussein- owner of wadi rum adventures, nephew of Mohammed S



Now for everyone we have met

3 flight attendants for Emerites Airline

1 Girl from London

1 Couple from Sweden

3 Guys from Japan

2 Girls from Hong Kong

1 Couple and child from France


We either sleep in the hostel which is just a room with some mattresses and blankets, or we sleep in the desert in the Bedouin tents. The food is absolutely amazing. I have no idea what is in it, but I just pile it on and chow down. The main ingredients are lentils, tomatoes, potatoes, pita bread, cauliflower, and all this other good stuff. I will have to take a picture. This post will just be a brief overview of what is going on in Wadi Rum and tommorow or tonight I will write more. I live in the present now and don’t have time to reminisce about the past. I will start writing our event of traveling from Madaba to Wadi Rum and everything up to present.
