Dale and Sarah sitting in the theater. It is quite large, and would have seated
about 8,000 people. You can see where modern amphitheaters get their arrangement
for entrances and steps (two steps per tier of seats). Notice the security guards along the top. We were always accompanied by security police, though the ones
who traveled with us wore plainclothes and were unobtrusive.
