Life in Jordan: Friday Market

By Marisa Lerin Tue, 04/23/2013 - 04:57

You might be wondering about the best things that Amman has to offer. There are in fact lots of nice things, but the two greatest things are hummus and the Friday Market. Today I'm going to tell you about the second.

When Jordan and I arrived to Amman, almost two years ago, we came with basically the clothes on our backs. We had been backpacking for about a year, any clothes that we had had previously we'd left in Korea and the clothes we'd been wearing for the last year had perhaps seen better times.

Traveling Around Jordan: Um Qays

By Marisa Lerin Tue, 04/16/2013 - 05:16

A few weeks ago we visited one of my favorite places in Jordan. Um Qays is the site of old Roman ruins, and in the spring time it is filled with wild flowers. From the site you can see the Sea of Galilee, as well as Syria and Israel.

Banana Bread Biscotti and My Recipe Organization

By Marisa Lerin Wed, 04/10/2013 - 07:06

Over the weekend it became apparent that I was going to have to do something about the banana situation on the counter. Not even the ants were going to take them away (although the ants seem quite impressed with our honey despite the fact that they can't get out of it). I like banana bread, but not really enough to eat a loaf of it, and since Jordan and I are only living with animals right now, this didn't seem like the recipe to make. I made muffins a few weeks ago, so that wasn't going to cut it either.

Traveling Around Jordan: Wadi Rum

By Marisa Lerin Thu, 04/04/2013 - 03:36

Last week, or whenever it was that we were gone camping, we also spent the night in Wadi Rum. Wadi Rum is one of the most magical places I've ever visited. Wadi Rum is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site and is a protected nature reserve. Made somewhat famous by Lawrence of Arabia, the 1962 movie was filmed there, as was the more recent film Prometheus. Dramatic rock formations surrounded by desert make for a stunning and alien location. When we go, we stay with a group of Bedouins who have opened up their tents to people wanting to get away from the hustle of daily life.
