So, the Jordanian Board of Tourism is really giving us the VIP treatment. I have no idea why, frankly (PR goes a long way, I suppose), but as I am indebted for the two weeks of insanely nice treatment, I agreed not to post/blog anything that could be construed as negative.

So, on Facebook, I was going to write something about how much people love King Hussein here. It's awesome. I mean, he navigated them through some pretty difficult shit, so hats off to the man. (I've always liked Jordan for the fact that it's a stable, well-educated country despite its borders with Israel and some of the crazier Arab states.)

Anyway, out of respect to the late King Hussein (and his son Abdullah and beautiful daughter-in-law Queen Rania [heyo!]), I was going to write "I dare you to find a more beloved and honored political figure in the world than the late King Hussein bin Talal." But, then I thought about some of the names that you, and particularly Brandon and Matt Kelly, would start dropping. And then I became terrified.

My conclusion from this experience is that I am essentially unable to post anything about Jordan whatsoever. Huh. I love my friends!
