Spent the night in Aqaba. A LOVELY town and but a bit dangerous. My roomie, Alexandra (Alex) and I were walking down the street to find a bakery and these who men were yelling at us. We ignored them because lots of people yell at us. Usually it’s a shopkeeper telling us to come into their store, that looking is free, etc.
Turns out, they were trying to warn us that there was construction going on in the building next too us. So, we’re chatting and walking and ignoring and we heard a clattering above our heads. We look to see mortar and wood raining down. I swear, I could feel the adrenaline and before either of us had time to think or shout, we ran into the street as the whole mess hit the sidewalk.
Cheated death once again!
