Jordan - Jerash/ Gerasa 2008 Hadrians Arch

Okay, I know I am a year late in this doing this post...

Jerash was one of the 10 cities in the Roman Decapolis. I think I read that 6 of these 10 Cities were in Jordan. I was really surprised by how much history is in Jordan. A combination of my ignorance and a lack of marketing that Jordan could really do to encourage more tourism. I absolutely LOVED Jordan...and this and some future blogs will give you a taste of what I saw.

Hadrian's Arch...the REAL One


An Entertainer in the Amphetheater

The Amphetheater




Stairs -- They were designed so that every 7th step was a landing...so you rest on the seventh day.

This was the Temple where they sacrificed ..or honored..or whatever they did to the virgins
