Time flies, but I still don't

Somehow, at some point, it became February. And somehow, when I let my attention slip for a second, 22 days passed. How did this happened? The last few weeks in Lebanon have been nothing like the months, almost two years, before. And yet, ...

Jordan travels! The last blog, for now ;)
