Blanket irony

Madaba, Jordan
Friday, November 30, 2012

One of the first things we did in Mongolia was to rush out and buy lots of warm blankets. The apartments in Ulaanbaatar were so overheated, however, that we ended up using all those blankets approximately once. Imagine my surprise, then, when I realized that we were going to need heavy, thick blankets to stay warm here in Jordan during the winter. Finally, a colleague took me blanket shopping yesterday evening. I think we are ready for winter!
