The balcony of our new hotel features a view of the Rock of the Dome (quite a contrast from our fast night's hotel*) so here we sit sipping on tea and Nescafe, munching on lemon sesame seed cookies while gazing upon the most famous golden dome in the world. The gold on the Rock of the Dome was donated by the late King Hussein of Jordan who sold a house in London to get the 8 million dollars. No wonder King Hussein is loved and respected so much in Jordan and elsewhere.* Last night's ghastly hotel had a view of a garbage heap and cost more $$ mind you.
