Exploring Jerash

I'm not a history buff by any means, but when my dad and I found ourselves with an extra day in Jordan and nothing to do we figured - why not explore some ruins! We crammed into a little taxi cab with 4 other tourists and made our way 30 miles north of Amman to Jerash.

We all decided to collectively hire an English speaking tour guide who droned on and on about ancient Rome, Greek gods, and a lot of other stuff that I frankly, do not remember.

The weather was absolutely stunning when we got there, but it started to rain and get very cold within the first hour. This probably attributed to the reason I can't remember anything about this place but at least I got some good pictures out of it! :)

 At the end of our day, we browsed the touristy shops around the area, where I encountered this 15 year old boy who was set on making me his future sister-in-law... He sat my dad and I down and made us some tea while jokingly asking "how many camels" I was worth! According to my dad, my number is 20?? We're going to have to work on that!

I'm falling in love with the beautiful people of this country!
