Berkbigler in Jordan

As part of the Jordan Education Trust, I am traveling with five other American teachers and five Jordanian teachers (plus two more Jordanian teachers who participated last year). Buttercup, George Washingtoe, and Leon (my children's animals) are going with me so that they can participate in my journey.

The day started with a call home, and then it went to the animals at the university

Buttercup stayed behind at Jordan U to study a bit more while the boys went for drinks at a local fast food place. Eventually Buttercup caught up with them at Lebnani Snack.


My day starts with a loving phone call home--although I didn't need to see the dog! Today we will visit the University of Jordan in Amman and then Ambassador Karim Kawar--with shopping and walking in between. Perhaps another feast and ice cream today!
