11-12 (Monday) Amman

Thankfully I asked for an extra blanket on my bed last night. This morning I put on my silk underwear, my pull over sweater and a fleece jacket.

We went to the ATM to get MORE money. We took a cab to Jarash at 7:45 this morning. At Jarash (an old Roman ruin) we attended a "show" which started off with the entrance of about 40 "Roman" legionnaires who parade around the hippodrome. They showed how the Roman gladiators fought it out with tridents, how the legionnaires used their shields etc. The climax was two chariots racing each other several times around the hippodrome's central wooden spina.

As we did going we took the local bus home for about 41.50 instead of $20 for a cab.
