Day trip

  Jerash is the most well-preserved Roman city outside of Italy.  It is only about 40 minutes from our home here and is a great place to visit, especially in April when the weather is not unbearably hot.  We headed out this afternoon to check it out. 
 
This picture just shows you how big of a place the site is! 

The collonade with actual chariot wheel ruts still visible!

Daniel getting pumped about the old cathedral.

Envisioning what might have been there 2,000 years ago.

Grass!  And wild flowers!!  We love Spring in the ME.
