Day Three in Amman

Day Three in Amman!! Today was full of activity. We first went visit the Minister of Agriculture, as well as the director for vegetable production and extension, the director of water resources, and a director of Ag Economics. We had great discussion and learned a lot about Jordanian agricultural practices.
We had a very traditional Jordanian lunch, with many different appetizers and a traditional main course of rice covered in lamb, and a cooked yogurt sauce. Very Delicious!! Most of us had Turkish coffee for the first time!! Very strong but great, just don't drink the bottom of the glass!!
We also toured the city of Amman today visiting the ancient capital on the hill with the Roman temple dedicated to Hercules. We walked around the Jordanian Archaeological History Museum as well as the Roman amphitheater, built in the shape of a horseshoe, great acoustics!! We also walked through the downtown (old city) market. It was amazing!!! Every color of fruits, vegetables, nuts, spices, herbs, etc. The open air market was shadowed with blankets and covers overhead.
Keep reading viewers. Tomorrow its off to the north... we will be in off roading jeeps for about an hour or so.... might have not internet for a day or two... catch ya on the flipside!!!
