200 meters is all that separates the borders of Jordan and Israel. The areas that people walk while soldiers from each country stand armed on either border because for 200 meters, its NO ONE'S LAND.
I could write 37402374230 blog posts about the irony of all of this but I have a flight to Rome to catch.
Things I want to remember to update everyone on:
Petra and Jordan in Israel, the flights in Israel, the flight attendant who watched Lost with me, my group, the giant wall that Israel is building to keep Palenstinians in a prison, the Holocaust museum, Bethlehem, Betty, Cam, camel ride, Tel-Aviv, Jerusalem, the hatred and tension, and so many pictures and stories!
In regards to all the supposed peace talks and the Israel PM's trip to New Orleans, I will leave you with this quote from my new friend and Palenstinian-Jordanian, Cam:
"At the end of the day, all the mothers want their children to grow up"
ps: we stopped at a Kosher Mcdonalds today. no cheese burgers, no egg mcmuffins, pretty much the anti-christ of what Mcdonalds means to me. But I'm working on embracing it.
