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.
