I'm on my way to a dinner party with some folks from the conservatory and we are going to have a night of remembrance for Patrick Swayze by watching some of his movies. I'll let you know which ones we end up watching. Just a quick update on my day today. Lisa and I decided to really do this vacation thing right and since we couldn't travel, we wanted to pamper ourselves. Right in our neighbor, there is a place to get Turkish baths. This particular place has a great reputation so we made reservations for noon today. Let me tell you, I have never experienced anything quite like it. For about 30 US dollars, I got to sit in a sauna, drink wonderful juice, rinse off, then sit in a jacuzzi with jets for awhile (I'm in a bathing suit the whole time by the way), AND, it's all women in the room! then I was exfoliated with this crazy looking scrub, felt like a car getting washed down. The woman showed me all the dead skin coming off my body, it was pretty gross, but I had nice smooth skin afterwards. Then, I laid down and received a full body massage which was AWESOME! The woman really worked out a lot of the knots in my shoulder and back, lovely. Lisa and I walked home in slow motion, it was such a relaxing experience. I'm thinking I should do that more often, hehe. It was a treat for vacation but I might do it again before I leave Jordan for sure.
I figure I deserve it for dealing with my broken toilet and cockroach situation at home. :o) I can be spoiled for a day. Alright, off to the dinner party. I"ll keep you updated! Talk to you soon, miss you lots. xoxo
