Gerash City


Near Amman is this old roman city called Gerash. It is considered to be the best preserved Roman City outside of Italy. We spent several hours seeing the  two theatres, the chariot racing place, the streets, and the temple. To make it a little more fun, everybody switched sunglasses, hence the picture below where everyone is pointing to the person they got the glasses from. In both of the amplitheatres we saw a small show, in one a guy was playing bagpipes. In the other (only 5 of us ventured far enough to find it) there was a group of young boys doing a skit for their class. It was pretty funny to watch the same 15 second murder scene over and over.
