Amman

When you travel on business it tends to be difficult to get to experience the places you go.  A taxi from the airport in the middle of the night.  The following day filled with meetings.  And then a taxi back to the airport followed by the long flight home.

But occasionally you get lucky - a meeting finishes early, you have a late afternoon flight, or you are able to take an extra day.  Amman was one of those lucky trips.

After an early wrap up, I was able to visit the Amman citadel and the amphitheatre and got to experience one of those magical moments that make traveling my favorite thing in the world to do.

Atop the citadel on a brilliant sunny day, the call to prayer began.  Within seconds the sound from mosques throughout the city began to echo off the surrounding hills.  I got to sit in the sunshine surrounded by the hauntingly peaceful sound.  A travel memory to cherish.
