Sheikh

 On the last two trips to Jordan, November 2022 and March 2023, we were fortunate to meet with a tribal sheikh in Petra. He hosted us in his house and fed us some delicious mansef (the national dish of Jordan). He's a wise, humble, and very gracious man, who sat and patiently answered questions from students on both trips. 

I look at death's door here, but I still love this picture. At the end of the session he said he wanted our picture together and proposed that I sleep over at his house on my next visit. That would be an extraordinary honor.
