Slept in this morning. After breakfast, we picked up our rental car and away we went. Drove about 45 minutes north to Jerash. Traffic not awful but amazing how they manage to cram 4 lanes of traffic into 3 lanes of roadway. Very reminiscent of Cairo - lots of horn honking and passing on the right and no allowance of stopping distance. But we got their in one piece.
We toured the Roman ruins of Jerash for almost 3 hours. Absolutely beautiful ruins. The weather is fantastic. Perfect for trudging through the hillside. And no crowds. Must be a relatively undiscovered tourist destination. The Jordanians are extremely friendly and seem to love Americans.
