Today I rented a car and drove the crew to Jerash, which is the 2000 year old ancient Roman city of Philidelphia. Words can't describe how amazing these ruins are. I would say they are even more impressive than the Forum in Rome itself, simply because so much has survived in good condition. Take a moment and check the pics; I took them all myself (except the one with me in it)...
