On Thursday, our professor, Dr. Saad, took us on a trip to the royal palace. We toured King Abdullah's palace (built in 1926- the first of many) and the tombs of the kings. Here are some highlights (see captions below for details):

Had a VERY exciting Friday/Saturday: An afternoon at the Roman amphitheater and the citadel in Amman on Friday and a day trip to Petra and Wadi Rum on Saturday. I will try to upload those pics in the next few days!
