Are you Damascus??

We are back in Damascus. Off to Jordon tomorrow. Lachie has been really really sick. Hopefully he's on the mend now and healthy for our trip to Jordon.I would definitely recommend Syria to anyone. Besides all the wars surrounding this country it is a surprisingly beautiful, safe, happy, interesting, old, peaceful country. We have enjoyed our time here so much.Only 6 more days and then sailing in Croatia! Very excited!

In the crazy, bullet-riddled, pistachio ice-cream selling souk. What an intense atmosphere.
