Finish the Sentence: Jordan

« Return to Finish the Sentence    « Return to Jordan

A wonderfully warm country full of of wonderfully warm people. I spent a week exploring Amman, the desert landscapes of Wadi Rum, the Dead Sea and the ruins made famous by Indiana Jones, Petra. Here are some of the people I met during my week long stay during the filming of Word Travels.

$%#&*! I REGRET: Not backing up my photos before Photoshop screwed up and resized all these pictures to the wrong spec and now they’re tiny. I also regret working on a PC instead of a Mac. And I further regret that all these folks below had to be the first image disaster in 41 countries and 2 and half years of travel. I also regret the baby screaming it’s head off in the row in front of me. See, plenty of regrets.

  • Facing a Bone Crusher on Prince Edward Island

    Lobsters are like prehistoric aliens with giant claws capable of crushing a man’s gonads to dust. They’re also delicious, which is why I set out one morning to pull in 300 lobster traps and stand knee deep in fish guts.

  • Flying Doctors and the Migration of the Wildebeest

    This week in East Africa, I discover two sides to a coin. The luxury, beauty and exotic wildlife of the ultimate safari, complete with butlers, five-star tents, and the migration of the wildebeest. In Nairobi, a different story, as I take to the air with the Flying Doctors, participating in a medical evacuation, and seeing the human cost of violence. This is Africa, and there is nowhere else like it.

  • Heat, Dust and Dirt Bikes in Egypt

    The traffic, chaos and 3000 years of bureaucracy take their toll, but I manage to Belly Dance over the Nile anyway. After clocking in at the pyramids, it’s off to the Sinai to rock the desert by ATV, dirt bike and dune buggy. Egypt has stayed much the same since my last visit 16 years ago. I haven’t.
