Amman's King Hussein Park

You get the impression that the royalty of Jordan are car fanciers after visiting the car museum in King Hussein Park. The museum really chronicals the royal families love of the automobile (and motorcycle). It's interesting to see all the different cars that have been used over the years by the royal family of Jordan. King Hussein was quite the driver and even raced cars as a young man. His son, His Majesty King Abdulla II loves motorcycles and was even touring in Oregon on his Harley Davidson as recently as last month, when we were all at the UW together! The car above was used by His Majesty and the Queen when they were married, and has had light use since. After an enjoyable visit to the Children's Museum, next door to the car museum, we enjoyed Arabic coffee al fresco. Have to find out what the phrase is in Arabic! The picture below is of two of our Jordanian friends; Sa'na on the left and Rabia on the right. The coffee was delicious and the company just right!
