Northern Jordon – Country Side

I’m currently reading the book “Guns, Germs, and Steel” by Jared Diamond. And a major part of the book focuses on the “Fertile Crest”, a region of the world that played a significant role in man’s domesticating plants and animals. Northern Jordon is located in the southwestern portion of the “Fertile Crescent”. It’s kind of cool (at least to me) to be reading about the development of civilizations and seeing regions of the worlds where it took place. The agriculture in Northern Jordon is still quite prominent, mostly wheat and olives. In addition to a place to read, the back of the truck is also great place to watch the scenery pass.
