Dear Ellen,
Thanks to you and your photos, I've now seen a bit more of Jordan. You've got enough photos up to keep me occupied for hour, so I wish they were on the Flickr site -- the Redroom site has shoved many of your photos into the text on the far right, and if the viewer clicks on a individual photo, it doesn't enlarge very much. I want to make them BIG!
Meanwhile, thanks for your journalism, too.
Yours,
Jim

Sorry for the low quality. They appear reasonably decent on my computer, but I guess it varies from PC to PC?! Dunno for sure.
There are some real archaeological treasures in Jordan, plus unique sites like the Dead Sea, which you made a point to visit. And then there's the famous Arab hospitality. I hope you were able to experience some of that. It's a pity the seemingly perpetual troubles in the region keep so many people away.
You're welcome for the journalism. Unfortunately, change comes very slowly where dishonor crimes are concerned. There are some obvious remedies, but there is just a lack of political will to implement them. The tragedy is that, meantime, people are dying.
