Favorite Places

Without a doubt, Jordan stands out as one of my favorite places.  The only downside is it's the most expensive place I've visited thus far.  One hundred US dollars is equivalent to 70 Jordanian Dinar, or 367 AED, the currency here in the UAE.

Second on my list of favorite places is Thailand.  The culture was intriguing.  The people were very warm and welcoming, and it was the cheapest place, too.  One hundred US dollars is equivalent to 3,071Baht.

More pictures from Jordan.

This is the remains of a monument dedicated to Hercules.
It was destroyed in a massive earthquake years ago.


This monument was erected in remembrance
of the visit to Mt. Nebo in 2000 by Pope John Paul.



Mount Nebo is owned by the Catholic Church and is maintained by a sect of the Franciscan Priests.  There is a church at the top of the mountain that is under renovation.  It dates back hundreds of years.


The Abdoun Bridge in Amman.  It's beautiful!
The sides lean out forming a V-Shape.

This photo I found online, taken at night.


Also from online, this photo of the Dead Sea.
