The two weeks flew by! Jeff and Carmela took a southern trip and I stayed behind to finish the English sessions and to visit the Jordan University of Science and Technology (J.U.S.T.). It was a busy last few days - Nina's sister, Samia, and some of her family stopped by to say hello, and I met Bader, one of Zain's brothers who will come to school in Chicago soon. We had a wonderful dinner at the Sweet Corner with Alaa, Captain Duaa, Lama, Rawan, Jocelyn, and Suad. It was a nice, low-key way to say goodbye. I will end here with pictures and a few captions, but I will have a longer post soon summarizing the trip :)
A princess showed up to bid us farewell
Almasa and Lean giving us some lovely presents :)
I left my military watch with Captain Duaa so she keeps a firm hand on the troops in my absence
The fist bump was the obligatory greeting and goodbye

Rana, Lana's sister escorted me out to J.U.S.T. for a wonderful visit

Our 5:30am taxi ditched us. A kind man brought Carmela a chair as we awaited rescue.
Our rescue vehicle was quite a bit smaller than we hoped, but we manged :)
