Second day in Jordan was AMAZING!! Sooo busy! Can't write much, actually, since it is 1 am but will upload some pictures. Hopefully will be able to add more later.
This is Jerash, in Jordan. Jerash is an ancient city, built by the Romans in app. 125AD. We were able to walk on old Roman roads, stand on pillars, walk in temples, and explore 2 amphitheaters.
This is the Aljoun Castle. It is said that the prophet Elijah was born in the town of Aljoun. We explored the entire castle, climbed walls, and stood on the top of it-which happens to be the absolute highest point in all of Jordan. From the top of the castle, we were able to see the West Bank across the river and the mountains in Syria. The view was breathtaking and the entire experience was unreal.
