pain in my...

after buses borders and israeli's i've arrived in Jordan. everything went smooth, spent the night in the southern most part of israel, Eilat and arrived early today in Petra.

For the last 2 days i've been having a crazy annoying itch in my nose. no matter what i do, no matter how much i pick, scratch, dig, flex or flick whatever it is there is something stuck in the right part of my nostril. I think i'm starting to develop a tick. or maybe that's whats stuck up there?

checked into a hotel and the comotion of this 20 room place has been quite interesting. the burly jordanian man who runs the front desk keeps calling jamie "baby" and he groped me or i think he did. he was very excited that we were checking into a first floor room and after a successful bargaining session he grabbed my flank and was giggling. this was all very creepy coming from a 300 pound arab man. then while napping in the room started to hear a wailing sound from the hallway. i assumed a goat wandered into the hotel or some child was crying. well, i was wrong. turns out that one of the hotel staff, an egyptian who seemed 'challanged' had fallen down the stairs. he looked alright, no blood, maybe a concussion and the ambulance came and took him away. besides the theatrics the hotel is decent and looking forward to hiking the ancient ruins / city of petra early tomorrow.
