Snow scenes at the University of Jordan

This my first winter in Amman in 21 years and what a DANDY!
I thought I would be escaping North Dakota’s cold winters by spending 10 months at the University of Jordan in Amman. It turned out mother nature had a different plan-as usual. My wife and I took a beautiful walk this morning at the JU campus. The snow covered trees and landscape have created an exquisite portrait that words can’t describe. We even saw Bluejays flying around the trees on campus.

Ok so it is a little chilly, the water was not running in the supply pipes this morning, the satellite receiver acts up, but the beauty of the snow, together with the serenity of Amman this morning more than make up for it. Oh did I say how nice it is not to hear traffic noise!
