I am spending this weekend with a friend in Amman. Hisham Abuzaid Lives on the outside of the capital. He has proved to be a very good tour guide of the city. His family is also wonderful at cooking. Tonight we are suppose to have more mansif with lamb! Last night we had Muhea (Sp?). It is like a spinich soup that u then put onto rice. You also mix in a little chicken and it becomes delicious. The night entertainment inculded meeting some of his friends and going to see the movie GI Joe. It was an okay film. Afterwards, we went and grabs some shwarma. I guess this is like the fourth meal idea of Taco Bell here in Jordan. Anyways, today we are going back around Ammman and going to see the largest flag in the world. Yet again another record that is not held by the USA. It seems we really lack in the Flag/Flag Pole arms race.
