Having my orientation behind me, it was time to travel to my new home for the next 6 months, Jordan University of Science and Technology in Irbid, Jordan. The trip between Amman to Irbid takes about 1 hour by car and I was fortunate to have two drivers who were sent by the University. The countryside north of Amman is best described as rolling hills speckled with some greenery this time of the year. A few homes can be seen at a distance off of the highway, and there are cafes and vendors selling their products (fruits, spices, nuts, etc) all along the way. Once in Irbid, I moved into a wonderful, cozy studio apartment on campus that includes a small kitchen, bathroom, living / bedroom area, and a balcony from which I can watch the sunset.
An extemely large pine tree adjacent to my balcony attracts a variety of song birds and releases a fresh, earthy aroma that brings back pleasant memories of camping and Christmas trees. Beyond the tree are fields and the highlands typical of northern Jordan.
great home
