I arrived in Jordan on Feb 26 at 2pm, one hour earlier than I was supposed to. I exit the plane, have to jump through a bunch of hoops at integration and my luggage was lost in the back of the airport somewhere. Needless to say, I arrived at 2, but did not get out of the airport and into the fresh Jordanian air until 3:15pm. At this point my phone had died so I was unable to get ahold of Omar, who was no where to be found upon my arrival, so I decided to have a seat and wait. Since my plane was due to arrive at 3, he probably didn't think I would be out of the airport until 4. Finally about 4:30 Omar arrived to pick me up. He thought my flight arrived around 3:40 and he had car issues.No worries though. I enjoyed the fresh air and people watching.
Omar picked me up with his friend Ayed. He is a very nice guy. The first place they took me was to have dinner. We went to a Turkish restaurant and I had lamb kabobs, hummus and some other stuff. It was SOOOO delicious! I am so in love with the food here!
After that they drove me around and showed me a bit of Amman on the way to my hotel. I requested to stay at a hotel my first night so I could crash in peace after my long flight and not put the burden on Omar's family to let me rest in peace.
My first day in Jordan was FABULOUS! The city is beautiful, the food is amazing and the people are fantastic!
