I love things like spotting the worn wheel ruts etc Some of your pics have carvings that look remarkably similar to what we find at the top of columns etc at Angkor which is kinda cool too. We loved spotting the holes in some of the heavier stones at the Colosseum and Palatine Hill just like at Angkor they had used similar techniques to move and place things half a world away! It creates a human kinship somehow- we are all really just the same.Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13388362742170805414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304534455173718249.post-89546939167231084992010-01-11T10:15:26.908+02:002010-01-11T10:15:26.908+02:00Hi Rachel!

We are loving our new home - except for the fact that it is so far away from our family :( We would love to have you come out and see for yourself, but we know that is hard, so I try to post as much as I can. This house has so much more room for us - even though it actually has less rooms than our last apartment. It's just bigger and laid out better. We also have a nice garden, and I have WINDOWS in my kitchen again for the first time since before your cousin Brian was born! It will be even better once we get our household goods. We moved here with 4-5 suitcases, we mailed some items, and we have since bought some things, but the rest of our things - books, family photos and decoration, movies, toys, all my pots and pans, extra sheets and towels... all that has yet to arrive. Hopefully it will get here soon - We kinda miss it! Keep watching - I will be posting more Jerash photos soon, and I also have more of the cats. Honor has a story to share too. Love you!Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667481504650498976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304534455173718249.post-39631095468088964012010-01-11T04:03:25.032+02:002010-01-11T04:03:25.032+02:00the rocks look really nice.How is your now home? f...the rocks look really nice.How is your now home? from RACHELRachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13233358513383797816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304534455173718249.post-88689477163185294682010-01-10T21:31:20.358+02:002010-01-10T21:31:20.358+02:00You are so fortunate to walk among these rocks and...You are so fortunate to walk among these rocks and experience history.

When we were at Jerash, he was reading all over the place for us. Yeah, now I'm gonna be bummed again about not going to Amman.
