Dr. Arwa, our friend at JUST University, invited us for dinner with her family at her home last night. When we arrived the house was full--brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles and cousins were all there. Dinner begins late in Jodan. We arrived at 8:00 and didn't eat dinner until around 10:00, but there were plenty of snacks while we visited and waited. We absolutely loved Arwa's family. They are typical Jordanians, very warm and welcoming. Everyone made us feel comfortable. Lynn wanted to know if we could adopt them.
Soon after we arrived they turned on the Arabic music and people got up and started waving their arms in the air and stepping to the beat. Soon we joined in, laughing and swaying to the music. One of the boys brought in a drum and beat out a rhythm. Maybe we should do that at home, it was really fun.
Sorry, folks, we forgot the camera so you'll just have to believe that we did it.
