Assuming I'm able to secure a tourist visa at the Syrian border tomorrow, today is my final day in Jordan. My last stop in this country was Jarash, said to be "one of the largest and most well-preserved sites of Roman architecture in the world." Though often overshadowed by Petra to the south (see Petra blog posting below), Jarash is well worth at least a one-day visit to explore the Hippodrome, Oval Plaza, Colonnaded street, and numerous other ancient Roman sites.
Sorry you weren't able to make the border crossing. But, that is half the fun of traveling without a set itinary, right? Not knowing what will happen next.
