Royal Automobile Museum and the Jordan Museum

Hello everyone,

My apologies for the delay in this post, the internet in Jordan was very spotty the last few days I was there.  Fortunately, I am in Tel Aviv now and the connection here is excellent, so I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to update the blog with some really cool pictures I took of my adventures to the Royal Automobile Museum and the Jordan Museum.  If you're a  car nut, this post will drive you crazy, as I was practically salivating over some of these classic cars.  Among the large collection were a "Tron" replica "light bike" made by BMW which is literally one of a kind.  Another interesting addition to the collection was an amphibious vehicle dating back to the 1960's.  Needless to say, I was stunned at the sheer variety and class of the vehicles presented.  As for my more recent travels, I just arrived in Tel Aviv today, and so far the city seems quite modern and friendly.  There was a bit of trouble crossing the border from Jordan to Israel, as I was questioned thoroughly concerning my intentions in visiting Israel.  Thankfully, the delay was not too long and I arrived here without much headache.  I hope you enjoy the photos, and stay tuned for the next update from Tel Aviv!

Tron bike.

The "amphib" (notice the propeller in the mirror below the car).  Apparently the car topped out at 7 knots in the water.

A Lamborghini bike, modeled after the Aventador. One of a kind.

A cool stone written in ancient script, I believe it was Aramaic.

The evolution of language.

Ancient coins used in the Roman and other ancient empires.

This room of the Jordan museum contained bronzed Dead Sea Scrolls

And the actual paper scrolls themselves.

My first meal in Tel Aviv, a 300g (!) burger cooked medium-rare served with a side of mashed potatoes (and a Heineken of course).
