Beautfiful Snow Covered...Amman??
The fast approaching holiday season reminded me of of a picture my friend Dima sent me last year soon after I left Amman, Jordan.It's the view outside her window.
Beautiful huh? Not quite the yellow sand dunes most folks think of when picturing the middle east.
And here I am sitting here in 60 degree northern California. It's just not the same christmas without snow.
Christmas was actually pretty big in Amman. The population is around 10% Christian and they go big. Even the non-Christians seem to get into the spirit. My only disappointment with my Jordanian Christmas was that they only sell plastic christmas trees. Makes sense though in a place where water is such a commodity. But plastic trees suck.
