One of the things about living overseas, is that you have to do things that you would never have to do otherwise if you were living in your own country. One of those things would be to have to travel and leave the country to renew your visas, even when you have a newborn baby. So, our time to leave the country was about overdue, and we had to get out of the country before the 30th of Dec. We looked at all of our options and the most economical choice seemed to be to go to Syria, even though we had heard mixed stories about having to wait at the border for many hours in order to get your visa. But we thought we would give it a try. So we were off....all 5 of us piled in the back of a taxi, while another woman paid for the front seat with the driver. I later found out that she was an Iraqi, going to visit her daughter in Damascus who had just had a baby as well. Anyway, we went there and stayed in a little hotel, ate at one restaurant and then came back the next day. I had these hopes to see the city and be able go to "Straight St." and to the place that they say Ananias lived, but traveling with three little ones makes things not always as easy as you think it would be. So, we headed back to Amman, after spending the night in Damascus.
I wanted to share this video of part of our ride in the taxi on the way back. Hopefully it will give you a good laugh. It is one of those things that is always funnier when you look back on, then it was at the time.
Ok, for some reason I am having a hard time posting the video, but hope to get it uploaded soon.
