(I was gonna post this two days ago, but then our power mysteriously went out for a couple hours Saturday night. No electricity = no wifi. And I was busy with stuff yesterday.)
This week, this man and his scarf visited a little village just outside Amman in a small valley called Wadi Seer. It was pretty cool. See that castle behind me there? Yeah, it was built in the second century B.C. By Hyrcanus of the Jewish Tobiad family (most likely). Pretty rad, huh?
Also, there were these caves in the hills above the village where rich Jewish families probably used to live. We sang How Firm a Foundation in this one. Pretty good acoustics. Also, as we explored the caves we saw a bat and a couple of chameleons (and lots of bat guano).
On the bus ride back into Amman someone suggested playing the Hellen Keller game (I find the name somewhat inappropriate, but it's a fun game soooo...what can ya do?). I had never played it before, but the way it works is someone puts in headphones and another person chooses a song. The person with the headphones in then has to sing while everyone else tries to guess what the song is. So apparently when everyone is watching you and you're singing by yourself you maybe get a little self-conscious so it's nice to have a blind-fold so you can just throw your inhibitions out the window. But what could possibly serve as a blind-fold?
Shazaam! Turns out this man is prepared with a scarf that is just about the perfect size for a blind-fold. The scarf was a big hit and brought loads of joy and laughter to a bus full of people. Enjoy.
And my personal favorite:
