The City of Columns

Jerash, Jordan
Friday, March 1, 2013

This morning we headed north to the Roman ruins of Jerash. The weather was cool when the clouds rolled in, but instantly warm when the sun came back. The green is everywhere now and spring flowers, too! Jerash was fantastic: Hadrian's Arch, the hippodrome, the amphitheatre, the Temples of Zeus and Artemis--and the column-lined roads. Don't miss this place. But don't come here too late in the spring--you'll fry in the direct sun!
