Umm Qais

I also got to visit Umm Qais, the second largest roman city in Jordan.

The views here are amazing.

Dina and Al

The boys never miss an opportunity for some impromptu entertainment.

Umm Qais, is right on the northwest tip of Jordan. You can see into Palestine and Golan Heights of Syria.

Jerash

We all got to visit Jerash for the first time. It's the largest Roman city in Jordan.

The entrance to the city.


This is the main street of Jerash. The grooves from the chariots are still there.
Jimmy, Jace, James, Alex, Me and Dina.


Me and lil' Brudder.


The group couldn't fight the beat of the bagpipes and drums and had to dance their hearts out!

Roman soldiers still reenact twice a day.

Our new (really disinterested) friend.

He must have said something wrong.

My brother, Alex, along with his friends and fiance came to visit us in Jordan for a week!
It was so nice to have familiar faces around.

Aaron and I took them out to Blue Fig for dinner.

We had such a good time showing them around.
