Here are Jim, Danna and our Jordanian fried, Jamal, at the gate to the ancient Roman city of Jerash, one of the best preserved Roman sites we have ever visited.( The Story of the World, Vol. I -The Ancients )

Here is another shot of the main thoroughfare of ancient Jerash.( The Story of the World, Vol. I -The Ancients )

Here's Jim at the Roman theatre in Jerash. The doorway leads to stairs up to the upper seats. The rich and powerful never had to climb the stairs. As John Lennon sadi, "Those of you in the upper rows please applaud. Those down in the front can just rattle your jewelry." Some things never change. ( The Story of the World, Vol. I -The Ancients )
Jordanian guards protect this cherished "South Theatre" at Jerash. ( The Story of the World, Vol. I -The Ancients )
