First Impressions of Jordan

Not much to report today...we just took the bus from Damascus to Amman, stopping at the border for the legal stuff along the way. We got through the border okay, but there were some issues that had to be dealt with. They gave me a bit of a hard time about my temporary passport but once I found an official who spoke English and was able to explain the situation, they let me in. They were very friendly throughout and I am finding the Jordanians to be as hospitable as the Syrians.

I haven't seen much of Amman other than the downtown core. It is perhaps the ugliest city on earth and there's really nothing to see or do here. We have a walking tour in the morning but I can't imagine what we might be seeing other than a citadel. Two more sleeps until Petra!
