It was the most beautiful sunset I had ever seen, and even made me tear up a little. Sadly, my brand new camera was acting up a lot ...

... wives were sitting down) and you also had a woman who thought she was the hottest woman in the room and the best dancer in the room (neither of which were true but she was hilarious to watch) in addition you had a man trying to do the dabkeh with drunk foreign women and it just didn't work out. So the weekend was very relaxing, we had a lot of fun, and it was nice to see the southern border of Jordan and realize all that it has to offer in the future.
