Jerash and Amman

The decopolis is a group of 10 city states that were important in Roman Times. We had previously visited Beit Shean, one of these cities that was in Israel. On Sunday afternoon drove north through Amman and up to Jerash, another of the decopolis cities.

As we approached the ancient theatre we were certainly surprised to hear the strains of bagpipes. These pipers played Amazing Grace and then Scotland, the Brave.

There were chariots at the hippodrome and for $20.00 you could go for a ride.

We drove to Amman in time for supper. Below is a view from our hotel window.
