P-Tribe's Trip

In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful and Compassionate: There are four people in P-Tribe: a man, his wife, and their two daughters. One of the girls is 5 years old. The other is 9 months. P-Tribe is from California. They'll be living in Jordan for the next 12 to 15 months, God willing, studying Arabic and soaking up local culture. This is what happens.

Under Construction

Here's a building under construction right behind our apartment. Where's the crew? You're looking at him! I saw him and one other guy working this morning. The shot was just after 7:00 am. It's early. I'm sure at least one other guy will show up before the end of the day.

Down at the bottom you'll see piles of construction materials, rock, earth, bags of mortar. What they'll do is load up a wheelbarrow with stuff, lash the wheelbarrow with chains dropped from the top of the building, and then hoist it up with a motorized winch. The guys at the top will unload the wheelbarrow and then drop it back down for another load. This goes on until about 3 or 4 in the afternoon.
