Judging a book by its cover: Part II

6 Jan 2010

We find the old castle in Aqaba just after sunset. It being closed, we snap some photos from the outside and head down to the shore to look around. Walking away a Jordian youth runs after us yelling something in Arabic (maybe). He's got our camera case! ... From some hand-gesturing, we learn that he's deaf. We thank him for the camera case. He stands there smiling, nodding and signing. Not knowing what to do, Angela suggests I give him a dollar. Nope. He didn't want any money--just to give us the case back! Friendly guy.
