Heading forJeresh

I had a nice cosmopolitan experience in Petra. I had stayed in places with bidets before, but not recently.  So, potty pictures.

There was a nice display above the fridge.
The morning after we saw Petra we had to get up early.  It was foggy and frosty.
It had snowed in the night. And I tried mightily to get pictures of it.
But the snow wasn't above the bus windows as it might look in this picture.
And if you use your imagination, You can see the snow.
And more snow.
A whole field of snow, I kid you not.
We were quiet going through the snow after our two nights and one day in Petra.
The driver and the guide were not saying too much.
Maybe you can see a little snow here.
And here.  And this isn't much snow for the Midwestern US, but for a desert country without snow plows and such, it was a lot of snow.
But as the guide eventually told us, it wasn't too much.
As we came through the snow, our guide told us that sometimes tourists were snowed into Petra and could not get out for quite a while.  He told us that some years ago they helicoptered people out of there.  It was something that was good not to know as we were headed in to Petra.
Eventually we were back in the old dry desert.

I wanted to get pictures of Bedouins and sheep and i did not succeed.
Our windows on the bus just got dirtier and dirtier.
The roads got wider.
And I think this is IKEA.
More scenes of Jordan.  Desert with buildings blending in.  That is my impression of Jordan.
I have no idea what city this is.
But it was some sort of city.
Closely meshed apartment buildings.

And the scenery changed from the fairly flat desert to the mountains.
We arrived at Jaresh and had lunch before touring the Roman city, our last stop in Jordan.  This was the sink in the restaurant.
Outside the restaurant was  a man who was making bread for the restaurant.
He rolled it out and kneaded it there and had an oven behind him.
He was a tourist attraction in and of himself.
This was the round oven in which he did the baking.  He threw the bread against the oven ceiling to bake it.  See the one at the top of the picture?
Before he threw it in he shaped it.
One member of our party got a special bread from him in the shape of a heart.
This was looking out toward Jaresh.
