O Jerusalem: Sorry, Andy, my trip beats yours

Psalm 137:1-6

1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
4 How shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?
5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.
6 If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.

Sorry, Andy, my trip beats yours

The day after our Petra adventure we went to Jerash, the best preserved Roman city in existence. Sorry, Andy, but apparently the best place to see Roman ruins is Jordan, not Italy. You'll have to come out here some time.

There really isn't a whole lot to discuss in regard to the ruins, but we really enjoyed exploring them. Here are some pictures of the specific sites:

This is where they would have chariot races. Our boys raced as well.
