2nd raining day in Amman










It was another raining day so we had breakfast at the Jordanian Royal family favorite Hashim restaurant for the third time, and then killed time in the City Mall. The mail still had plenty of tissue paper for sale. Unknown to us, a county lockdown snowball is coming to us.
