Sunset Blues

At this moment, im sitting by the beach in Aqaba, Jordan, looking out to the Red Sea, just after sunset.. On the other side of the sea is a city in Israel called Eilat. Its about 6-9 deg celcius cold.. Al-Sharif Husein bin Ali Mosque behind me has just finished maghrib prayers, i planned to go and was ready with wuduk when i left the hotel but a teenage boy wanted a pic w me just now as i was walking down the beach and he shook my hand after. A dear old man with a thick graying beard, probably Egyptian by his looks.. just passed by. He was picking up trash and cleaning up the beach.. I start to think how he ended up here, doing this job.. Earning an honest wage to feed his family.. Maybe he's an educated man but because of the situation on Egypt, he cant find a better job.. (Assuming he's Egyptian). Another teenage boy just asked if i wanted coffee.. La shukran..

Its at least 8 hrs before my ferry leaves for Nuweiba, Egypt. Just gonna have to past the time.. Im having separation blues coz my travelmates have gone back to Irbid..
A group of Malaysian students took me on a wonderful roadtrip.. Not without its challenges.. Its been a pretty crazy and cool and awesome 12 days.. Im all alone now. Will be until i reach Cairo in about 5-6 days Insya Allah.

Maybe i should head back to hotel now and watch some movies.. Its getting prettty cold already..

Another teenage boy just passed by and said to me "welcome to Jordan".. Thank you very much! I'll be leaving now, thanks for the wonderful memories and of course the delicious Jordanian delicacies.. :)
