It was quite the adventure getting fifteen people to check in with 32 bags of luggage. We arrived tired and weary with all of our luggage and successfully connected with our hosts. With this being the third year I have made this trip, its more like reuniting with old friends.
Off to the hotel to unpack, shower and then dinner. We ate at this amazing place called, Tawaheen Al Hawa Restaurant. The meal was three full courses. The first course consisted of appetizers of hummus, chicken wings, grape leaves and baba ghanoush. This could have been the main course. Then out came mixed grill with kebab, chicken and lamb platters with vegetables. All fresh and delicious. For dessert there was cream konafa, baklava rolls and fresh fruit. It was perfection.
The next day we went to the Jordan Museum. The museum is worth a stop. For me the highlight was viewing the Dead Sea Scrolls. For lunch our hosts had arranged a meeting where they presented an overview on their ministry. It always interesting to hear what progress has occurred over the year.
Back to the hotel to organize our supplies for the clinics. We would be spending two days in each location. The supplies were equally divided; tooth brushes, tooth paste, reading glasses and sunglasses. We organized the dressing supplies, triage supplies and other items that we would take to each site. The dental team got their supplies together and with maybe six suitcases we were ready for the first day.
