I found an article entitled "Third-Grader Commutes to School by Mule" today on CNN and it reminded me of Jordan. Yesterday on my way to the US embassy, I saw a mule and a heard of sheep in Abdoun. Abdoun is not only in Amman but it is also the richest part. It was good to have a laugh as I was driving toward fortress USA. Enjoy the article!

What a great story but it really makes us who live in the great upper midwest look backwards.

Are you telling me you didn't ride a mule to school? I mean, where I'm from, we rode cows to school... but seriously, my high school's name was CVU which means Champlain Valley Union high school but folks called it Cow Valley Union :)
