Other Travel News from this week:

This week my roommate Gabby rented a car because her mom and sister were visiting. I drove with her yesterday in Amman. Driving here is much more chaotic than Minnesota! People don't really stick to their car lanes, honk all the time, and roundabouts don't have many rules. We were so happy once we arrived to the market we were driving to!
