Bare Walls
Prior to gaining independence in 1946, Trans-Jordan was under British control. These walls are some of the remains of a British outpost in Safawe, previously named "G5".

Mafraq's Ruins
During our journey to Safawe, we stopped in Mafraq and waited for Omar, the mudeer of the Badia Research Center to come and pick up Adan, Jesus and me from the bus station. Before embarking on the long drive to Safawe, Omar and his friend gave us a tour of the ancient ruins of Mafraq. There, we crossed paths with archeologists from Germany.

Window Watchers
It is commonplace to find small children playing in the windows and watching the busy world pass by. My cousin told me that when she was small, she would spend hours in the window playing while Teta worked in the kitchen. Two children in a neighboring building took plastic bags, tied strings around the handles and watched them float in the breeze. Even before they are allowed to venture out into the world below, they are already fascinated with kites and constructs similar to them.
