We got out of the bubble for a few hours to visit the Roman Theatre as well as Citadel Hill, an archaeological site where you can find the remains of (amongst other things) a mosque, a Byzantine church, and a temple to Hercules. Which gives you a sense of why it is considered one of the oldest continually inhabited spots in history.

Thanks as always for your prayers and messages. Peace.

View from the plaza outside the main theatre.

The view from the stage.

The view from the cheap seats. Steps were small, steep, and did not come with the benefit of hand rails.

With Downtown Amman in the distance.

There’s also a cabaret space next door.

The cheap seats in this space don’t induce the same vertigo as the main theatre.

Always fascinated by mural art.

The ruins at the Temple of Hercules on Citadel Hill.

The view from Citadel Hill, giving some sense of the enormity of Downtown Amman.

Making friends.

Always making friends.

At Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd in Amman. Jesus was a redhead. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
