We just returned from a 10-day journey through Jordan, which started in Jerash, a settlement dating from the period 2500-700 BC, and ended in Wadi Rum, a beautiful desert with a thriving Bedouin culture. We made the journey on mtn bike, some 200 km. and, at times, relatively grueling ~ HELLO CALVES AND HAM STRING MUSCLES, plus SAG, which turned out to be a plush bus ride. The mtn bike ride was harder than I imagined, but completely satisfying upon completion of each milestone.
Our group was comprised of a comptabile lot, constituted primarily of folks from England and refined by folks from the countries of Ireland, Australia, Switzerland, and, of course, the great USA.
Jordan was a country full of surprises. Mountains, lush, fertile grounds, robust history, tasty food, and friendly inhabitants. We had a lovely time.
