Jordan Day 3, November 16, 2022

There are no words to describe the joy that is in my heart today! No words to describe the grandeur of what I have experienced. No words to describe the amazing sites I have witnessed today. What could possibly be an awe inspiring you ask? Well, Roman Ruins of course! thetwinsontour LOVE Roman Ruins probably even more than early Black Friday sales at Kohls so that is saying a lot.

Our itinerary said we were visiting a Roman settlement called Jerash. But this is not just any Roman city. This is the largest preserved Roman city outside of Rome! It was huge! I got nearly 10,000 steps just walking around there. And the selfie possibilities were infinite. It is not a Unesco World Heritage site because more than 20% of it has been restored. The French started restoring it back in 1983. And, let me tell you, it was MARVELOUS!

Refer to opening sentence. The end!

Love,

PS. On the way back, we stopped at the Royal Automobile Museum. Don’t tell my daddy, but I kind of enjoyed it. It’s mostly cars that have been owned by the King of Jordan since Jordan was founded in 1946. Lots of Rolls-Royce, Mercedes, and Harley Davidson– all restored so that they are in immaculate condition (which seems repetitive to me…. like why would you restore something to less than immaculate?) But there was also some pieces of Jordanian historical significance like the Star Wars Speeder from The Rise of Skywalker which was filmed in Wadi Rum in 2919
