foxes have holes or a place to lay our heads

not 3 hours after i (jeff) posted the last entry, we received word from Rick that we have a place to call home in amman. the neighborhood is on one of the "seven hills" or mountains in amman. its called jabal ashrafiyya. it is a furnished, two bedroom flat in a predominantly arab/muslim neighborhood. here's a quick look at some of the scenery:

(the abu darweesh mosque in jabal ashrafiyya)

needless to say, we're excited about all of the possibilities that are in front of us and the opportunities laid out for us. we are also proud to say we have sold our first house and are all but debt free going into this trip. wow. jessey keeps working on cakes...

...i keep working overtime, and with your support, we have now reached $5630 towards our goal of $9000. and we still have more than two months until our trip!
