Let me start by admitting that I am an unabashed follower of college football recruiting. The kids committing or signing with your team out of high school are the future and obviously play a large role in whether or not your team will be any good. Thus, I monitor it closely. However, an increasingly annoying trend among these high school recruits has developed in recent years.

The ancient city of Petra is worthy of its bucket list ranking fame, but Jordan has a whole lot more to offer as well. Jordan is, for the average tourist, a long driveway to the millennial beauty of Petra. However, just as restaurants in France have to try that much harder to attract attention if they’re outside of Paris, so Jordan amply rewards the visitor for straying from the Middle East’s high-volume destinations.
