Keepin' it Local

As we continue to wait for shooting to resume, Christian and I decided to experience the culture from a local's point of view. (p.s. shooting does resume tomorrow)

On Saturday....

Christian, Rassan, his daughter Dareen, and I all drove down to the Dead Sea. This time we got a daypass for the Movenpick. Its a swiss resort. We hung out, ate, and watched the sunset while floating in the Dead Sea.

On Sunday...

We have become very friendly with Rassan's family and today he invited us over for lunch. He calls us "family", as is the custom here, much like in Turkey. We had a traditional Jordanian lunch and hung out in their house.

After we visited the oldest sweetshop in Jordan where they have traditional sweets made with pistachios. I am exhausted from all the socializing and sun exposure. Looking forward to finishing and coming home.
