The Beautiful City of Amman in Jordan

Ciao Amici!

 

I was thinking just now that a day like today but a year ago, at this time I was waiting in the airport to head to Amman in Jordan. I can't describe all the feelings I was having at the time because I had never gone so far on my own. I was so excited, a bit nervous thinking that I could get lost, happy because it was a dream coming true, and so much more I can't put into words. I knew that after I left America, I would be stepping into a whole new world for me. I was facing my fears and challenging myself to see more of the world with my own eyes and not through a screen sitting at home in my comfort zone. It was the first time I really did what I wanted to do with all my heart. Thinking about it now makes me feel the same way I felt a year ago and I want to experience it again in the future. I have decided to share some memories I brought with me and so here they are...

The Flag from Far Away

 Inside One of the So Many Yellow Taxis there :)

 

A Beautiful Blue Sky

 Handmade Ice Cream (Every time the man mashed the mixture, beautiful sounds made up a nice melody)

 

Doing a Little Bit of Window Shopping :D

 I have to say that I was so upset the day I took the next picture! I forgot to charge my camera and I missed the opportunity of taking more pictures of this beautiful place. It was such a nice and clear day, such a lovely view of the city from the top where this masjid is located and such beautiful architecture :(. This is the only picture I was able to get and is not even the whole view of the place :(

 King Hussein Ben Talal Masjid 

 

If you are a nature lover like me, you will surely love the next picture. I have never seen a sky like this but I'm guessing it is the closest view to a sand storm. Outside it felt great, I breathed well but from far this is how part of the city looked like that day.  

What a Mixture of Clear Sky and Sandy Air

 

A Certainly More Clear Day

 

An Arrange of Colors in the Side Opposite to That Where the Sun Sets

 

The Sunset, One of My Favorite Peaceful Moments

 

 Night Time View

 

Sweetness Wonderland, I Could Live Here Forever! :P

 

The day I came back home on February. These are some sweets my fiancé and his family gave me :)

I know this was probably a long post because of the pictures but I couldn't let the day pass without sharing them with whoever stops by and read my fairly new blog. I thought it was a good opportunity to post something new and interesting. I will end it by saying that there are many more breath taking places to find in Jordan like Petra, etcetera. On my first trip, I didn't have the chance to visit many of them because I went there to meet my Love and his family, after long years of waiting for the opportunity to be able to meet in person. I spent nearly a month living with them and I felt at home since I stepped into their house. I came back with a lot of sweet and lovely memories of a city in which I felt peace and was welcomed by some of the most warm, friendly, funny, and kind people I have ever met <3 . I feel very blessed and it was an amazing experience.
