Blogriamge Day 10: Jordan

I went up to Denver to hang out with my girl, Lori Farmer. We got busy watching Madea's family reunion, so I did not have time to blog for day 10. So, here is a short version:

We now will be leaving the cold snow behind and going to the desert of Jordan. The middle eastern, predominately Muslim nation is rich in History.

The capital is Ammon and can be seen on the right, and The official name of Jordan is the ‘Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan’

Below are some interesting facts about Jordan:
  • The national dish of Jordan is Mansaf, a large tray of rice with chunks of stewed lamb and jameed, a yogurt sauce
  • In Jordan, it is usually polite to decline the offer of a meal 3 times, before accepting.
  • Moses was bruied in Jordan
What things do you know about Jordan?

The Jordan flag is based entirely off of Islam. The black, white and green stripes represent different parts of Islam, while the red triangle represents the Great Arab Revolt of 1916. The 7 pointed white star is for the seven verse of Islamic belief.



Jordan is inundated with Muslim culture, and a nation that could use much prayer!
