Today was my last day of class! I can't believe it went by so quickly! I'm kinda sad because I thoroughly enjoyed my teacher and the lessons...
But anywho, today's post is about my field trip to the Citadel!
Saria, Stephanie, and I left our hostel around 4:30 pm and took a cab up to the Citadel in the center of the city. I thought it was just the pillars (which I later discovered to be the Temple of Hercules), but I wanted to go anyway. Boy, was I wrong! I had to dedicate an entire Facebook album to pictures just from the Citadel!
Ok, first of all, it was hot as hell. It is now that point in the year. But it's dry heat, so it isn't too bad.
Anyway, we explored around and took TONS of pictures. We even had a photo shoot. Much laughter was had by all.

At night, Stephanie and I went out to Trader Vic's with Lena. We were out past curfew but figured that Saria could get the door for us. We were wrong. Apparently they shut off the power to the main door after curfew. Oops...
Tomorrow we are FINALLY going to Petra and Wadi Rum. It is going to be so hot, yet a lot of fun! More to come!
