Aren't you afraid?, won't it be scary?,you have to be crazy!

These are the first words most of our friends and family said upon learning we would be moving to Jordan for a year. We decided to create this website to give them some idea of what life was like for us and to pass on information to others who will be moving to the Middle East.

Well, it wasn't scary and while we may be a little crazy, our time in Jordan and traveling to several other countries in the Middle East and North Africa was one of the greatest experiences of our lives.

Living in Jordan contains information on what life there is like for Americans.

Travels is a collection of stories, links and photos of the countries we visited.

Articles contains a series of newspaper articles that Bob wrote for the Wakefield, KS Times.

Links is guess what? Links! Links to information, music, language and some fun stuff.

Photographs will let you look at our virtual photo album.

Recipes has a few of our favorite Middle Eastern dishes that we make often and a list of cookbooks.
