Our Last Days in Amman

Returning from Petra the day after took a while, and by the time we got back to Amman all we really could manage was eating (at City mall again!) and resting since our legs were still recovering. We picked up our stuff and found a hostel for our last 2 nights in downtown Amman. That night we went to Rainbow Street (in downtown, lined with cafés and restaurants and lots of expatriates) to eat falafel and reunited with our friends from the Dead Sea and Petra to watch Argentina play in the World Cup.

Our last day in Amman was pretty busy. First we had to go to the Italian Hospital to see a doctor about my ear infection (unfortunately no one actually spoke Italian.) Afterwards, we finally got to visit some of the sights in Amman like the Roman Theater and the Umayyad Palace, and finished with a trip to Subway! (the restaurant) That night out Couchsurfing host invited us to go out with some friends, so we got some take away hummus, pita, and falafel from the famous Hashem restaurant and spend our last hours in Amman with the same great people we spent our first hours in Jordan with.
