A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words Part II: Day at Jerash

On Saturday, I woke up at 8 and taxi'ed to the bus station, where I met up with Leila, Arielle, and Arielle's fifteen-year-old host sister for a day trip to Jerash. A few of our group had left in an earlier shift, and we met up with them once we arrived to walk the ruins in the beautiful 60 degree February day.


Hadrian's arch. This was built a long time ago.

Yup. This enormous Roman city is just straight chillin' in the middle of modern Jerash.

Beautiful ampitheatre. Not as big as the one in Amman, but still. Pretty impressive.


Corinthian columns. Read: ROMANS WERE HERE
