On Monday, we woke up and met up with Jen, the annoying American girl that's been tagging along with us. She's too high maintenance and is a different mindset than the rest of us. But she managed to find a friend whose very similar to her, demanding and all. She asked if her new friend could come and I said yes since we could share the cost with her. I didn't know it but the others had agreed that she could come for free. Ian told me this but I asked her for money anyway when we got to the border.
We dropped the car off and walked to the Jordinian side of the King Hussien bridge only to learn that the border was closed. After much debate amongst our group of 5, we rented the car again and headed back to Amman. Ian, Andrew and I were especially disappointed because we wanted to get rid of these girls.
We spent the night at a very friendly Palestinian guy named Fadi, whom Jen asked about lodging at the border. We were lucky because the family had 2 houses and they were moving into the one we stayed on Friday. They already had some matresses there. Apparently, the guy's father runs 12 gas stations in Saint Louis, Missouri. Fadi will be going to Saint Louis University in the fall.
The next morning we set out for the border. We arrived on the Israeli side at 10:30 am but didn't leave until 6 pm. Lots of waiting that I'll elaborate more on later because I gotta go get some dinner.
