Jerash

Today we visited Jerash, a large Roman city that is still has been well preserved. I don't know much about the city. (Arab "tourist sites" are devoid of informational plaques) But I did get some cute pictures of the girls.

 Emily and Savannah had a great time walking around all the ruins and jumping on the rocks. Sophie, not so much.


This is inside the amphitheater.

Part of the Roman Road


About 15 minutes after Emily took this photo, dark clouds rolled in, the temperature dropped and it began to pour down rain. We ran, but we were still soaking wet by the time we made it back to the front entrance.

If you ever have the chance to come to Jordan, Jerash should be on the top of your list to visit. It is well worth the walk and an impressive visit.
