One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When crossing the Israel/Jordan border in 2007 with 3 Israelis who had been visiting an Arab country for the first time, the Jordanian border guards asked us to get out of the car and sit down under a tree. The Israelis thought the guards wanted to search the vehicle, but it turned out they just wanted to offer us all tea. We had no languages in common, but everyone smiled and gestured and drank tea in the shade.

Teach, Learn, Share
