So we've left the Jabbok River, had lunch and now we're at a place called Jerash, which was a Greco-Roman city:
These are all at the entrance



 This is the hypodrome

Central Plaza - it's oval



 These are all the cardo - or main street of the city



Some close-ups of the columns etc.


This area was once the market of the city


 Those are animals carved in the stone, so this was the meat market

 This is the North Tetrapylon - tetra meaning 4 and pylon meaning pillar, support etc. This was at a major intersection within the city. There was also a South Tetrapylon, but not as clearly recognized.

North Theater

One of our students is a dancer.

This is one of our faculty - also a member of the Tab Choir

He's singing "There once was a farmer who took a young miss . . . ." She's responding

The group singing


Sorry the videos are so short but I can't download them to the blog if they are much longer. :(

Nymphaeum - dedicated to nymphs

South Theater


Other stuff



Getting a lesson on how to put on a kafia



This was the end of day 3 and we spent a nice evening in the hotel.
