In Amman

We arrived late last night in Amman.  David picked us up at the airport around 11 p.m.  We were up early this morning, as Emerson was up at 6.  She woke up happy and ready for fun.  We played and laughed with her.  After breakfast, we walked to a neighborhood grocery.  It was close to 11 a.m. when we returned and Emerson was ready for her nap.  Papa and I went to the dentist.  The cost for a cleaning was $25JD or about $30US.

After our dental appointments, we got a taxi to downtown Amman, where we checked out the Roman theater ruin.  It was built in the 1st century AD to seat 6000 people and is at the lowest point in downtown Amman.  Directly up on top of the nearest hill are the Citadel ruins, dating back thousands of years.  Papa and I walked up steps, then climbed over rocks to get to the Citadel, realizing we got inside the grounds without paying an entry fee.  We enjoyed walking all around to see the ruins.

Back at home, Emerson was just getting up from her nap when we arrived from our downtown trip.  She had fun "playing drums" with wooden spoons, a whisk, and various pots and pans.  We read books, colored, and danced about.  What fun!
