Interlude with Contrasts

I expect cultural differences (e.g. language and religion) when I travel.  It's amazing to me, however, how different places can look, even if they have fairly similar geographies (e.g. mountainous and dry).

Typical colorful street in downtown Oaxaca, Mexico, where we've been for the past 10 days, and where I've left Rob, Maya, and Mira for six days.  Oaxaca is at 5,500 feet and is arid much of the year.

Typical monotone-colored Amman, Jordan, where I am for the next three days for a sudden and very short work trip (women's rights and peace - how could I say no?!).  Amman is at 2,500 feet and is arid much of the year.
