(Sun)Bathing

The outdoor bathroom must be one of the greatest things about living in Wadi Rum: you can brush your teeth in the morning sun.

Mango street in my mind

I used to walk on Omar bin al-Khattab street almost every day. Too bad I rarely took pictures. Here are some last memories.

Blurry and bearded

This bearded man ran through my picture in Mahane Yehuda and turned to smile at me. For that he deserves his own post.

To the anonymous

200th post. With these blurry faces and body parts I'm paying tribute to some of the people (and places and moments) who made a difference in my life in Amman and around. And the ones not present in this post: even if I never took unrecognizable photos of you, you are still part of this life-changing experience and always special to me. <3

Stroll on the corniche

Once again the Beirut seaside promenade suprised me: The tanning granpas beckoned me to join and the pastry men gave me a bite.

Silence

Without seeming to realize, she was mimicking the finger gesture when looking at it.

Followers

These people must really believe in their work.

My kind of pilgrim

Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine/Israel. We've come a long way, we will go even further.

Making faces

They all look quite happy. Except that dude who is trying to duck from the photo.

Riot

This guy did not seem to be too bothered by the threat hanging over him.

Fishy business

Something smells fishy in this stand in Mahane Yehuda.

Special stuff

One can find curious things from Mahane Yehuda.

Meanwhile elsewhere

Fruits & veggies

Not only the boys but also the men selling fruits and vegetables are very friendly in Abdali. And their products are amazing!

The Sea of Salt

But I wonder: if you just keep floating, could you eventually end up on the the other side of the Dead Sea?
