Upsala couple returns from two years Peace Corps service in Jordan
Dan and Marlene Hovland of Upsala have recently returned home from two years in the Peace Corps. Their time abroad was spent in Jordan, a Middle Eastern country, which is landlocked except for its very southern tip which is on the Gulf of Aqaba, an arm of the Red Sea.
Jordan lies on the east bank of the River Jordan, for which it is named. It borders Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Syria and Israel. It shares the Dead Sea with Israel. Most of Jordan consists of the Arabian Desert, but the western portion consists of agriculture and forests. See more in Tina Snell’s Morrison County Record story.
