Jerash

The ruins of Romans.

After bidding farewell to Sarah in Muscat, I took a quick flight to Jordan to meet up with Molly and her sister. How nice to arrive at the hotel in a foreign country… only to see one of your favorite faces!

Bright and early the next morning we rented a car and drove the approximately 50 kilometers up to Jerash.

We spent a pleasant morning exploring one of the “best preserved Roman provincial towns in the world.”

I’m always amazed at the skilled craftsmanship of the past. I was particularly impressed by these statues we stumbled upon. So lifelike.

We grabbed some lunch in town before heading out on our next adventure.
