What a full day! We started with a wonderful conversation at the interfaith research institute in Amman with Father Nabil Haddad. Shortly after that, we visited the Citadel and then headed over to a super cool eco-project called Wild Jordan for one of the best lunches I've ever had (and I think the group will agree!). Next was two handicraft projects 1) Jordan River Foundation and 2) The Hand Project. Both were great examples of how Bedouin women and local artisans are being employed to create handmade items. The group then went off in many different directions - I chose to walk through the souk and see another mosque. Father Jeff and I stumbled upon an amazing pastry shop and helped ourselves to some delicious Arab sweets.
I'm excited that we had such an interactive and engaging first day and look forward to 2 more weeks of the same!
