jordan in pictures

I've now been in Jordan for 5 days, and let me tell you, this trip couldn't get better if it tried!  I'll write about both Petra and the Wadi Rum Desert later (my connection here is slow and tedious).  For now, though, I'll share some of my favourite pictures.

Also, for those of us who celebrate Christmas, Merry Christmas.  (As you can see, mine is rather untraditional this year!)
