Well, I went to school after having coffee and toast with Barb and Les.  Someone has to work and it was me. :-)  I offered to come and get them during prep but they opted to stick around the house.  They did walk up to the new mall only to find nothing really open.  Certainly no coffee or food stores as it was now Ramadan.  So they walked back to my place and made lunch, watched some TV and waited till I got home after Student Council.
Once I did get home, we headed downtown to go and see the Roman Amplitheater.  Guess what?  It was closed.  Surprised?  Yes.  We did look around and were able to see inside but not the museums which I think are cute.  From there, I drove through downtown and then up to the Jordan River Foundation.  It too was closed. So, off to find dinner.  I picked Wild Jordan for its view, lemon mint drinks and the good food.  It was open and serving so we were seated outside with a great view of Amman as the sun was setting and iftar was called.
After that, it was back to my apartment as Anita and I go to Starbucks on Mondays to knit. Barb grabbed her knitting and we all set off for another evening in the life of Kirsten.
Got home, chatted and then time for bed.  Who knows what the next day will bring!
