Jordanian Memories

My time in Jordan is helping me with the character development of my male protagonist who is 1/2 Jordanian.  I have so many fond memories of my time there.  The Bay of Aqaba is exquisitely beautiful...the water so warm and blue.  And the food....still tempts me today....many years later. Isn't it funny how food unites people....families and cultures? Especially when you leave your home and travel to another country, sharing the knowledge of common foods, which really means a common culture....is like sharing the most intimate secret.
