Jerash

This afternoon we explored the ancient Roman city of Jarakesh. Although there is a newer city, this part is protected and cannot be built on. We saw the massive gates and hippodrome. After watching a bagpipe performance we had some free time to explore the archeological site. Miki climbed to the top of the amphitheater with Mary and I stayed at the bottom - my legs would have become jelly.

After that, we climbed to the Zeus temple and a local took some epic pictures for us (for a tip of course!). There are still parts of the sight that are being restored while some are still being uncovered.Læs mere
