day 6: Karak Castle and Summer Program Closing Party

I think that field is the only green patch in all of Jordan. People come from miles around to gaze at its novelty.

On the sixth day of our travels through Jordan, the Germans, Jordanians, and Americans found themselves at the awesome castle of Karak. After spending some time wandering around the spacious halls and archways, the fearless team headed out to an ancient ruined Christian city. It was freakin' hot out. Luckily, the ancient city still had a McDonalds that was pretty intact (see photo above). Marlise was thoroughly geeked out by the architecture. Here she is being really happy! We were tired after the long day, but not too tired to go to Husn to see the closing night of the Summer Camp. I even did a song with the kids that we'd worked on during the Camp - "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands." Boy, do I hate that song. It was good for the Germans to see all the families in Husn having a good time. Stay tuned for the rockin' day we had in Husn playing games with the teens and eating bratwurst mit sauerkraut on German Night!
