Today is the last day of Ramadan. Tomorrow is the festival of Eid and a large celebration for the end of fasting. People are shopping and getting ready for the feast. The good thing about Ramadan is no Muslims can have anything pass there lips from sunrise to sunset. This includes cigarette's.
Today was up at 6am had a bit of breaky and watched the BBC Paul and Greg were up soon after so we flagged down a cam and off to Jeresh to see the ruins. About 45 minutes winding around the roads and almost hitting may cars. They have a thing for the horn here. Sue would love it. Thy hit the horn because they can. The strets are packed . Shopping is great! not a shopper but the prics ar all pretty fair.
The ruins were quite large with two Colosseum's and 3 gates. It took about 3 hours to see it all and it was about 30C so a hat may have helped.
Got plenty of picks. After Petra i think the ruin thing is done. Can only take so many pics of stones.
Had a confusing conversation with a bus driver , as they speak in Arabic they always sound angry. I am sure they are saying "these tourists are very lovely lets give them the red carpet treatment". It does sound more like "lets take them to the desert and put them in a good hole". Loads of smiles for all...... Kind of like excited Italians.
Made it back to the town centre and found a place to eat. The Cairo restaurant was the place to be. It was empty and only tourist were eating. If waited to sunset the place would have been to busy.
Got a jug of fresh squeezed apple and carrot juice and came back to the hotel. It is now about 9pm Jordan time and most of you are just about to start your day.
Burning some disks tomorrow so keep an eye out for some new pics.

I am sure that the people in Arabic are saying "what a nice guy let us be as helpful as we can" NO? Oh well you can pretend. Sounds like you are eating well and that's good, glad that it is agreeing with your constitution.
