After waiting at the Syria-Jordan border for 9 hours, I made it to Damascus late last Saturday, and had three excellent days wandering the souqs, visiting the Ummayyad mosque and traveling to Palmyra for a day (bus trip: 6 hrs round trip, touring the ruins: 1 hr), which was awesome.
And today we headed into Lebanon, a much easier border crossing and currently I am in Beirut. Tomorrow we are headed to see a really cool cave and Baalbeck, home of awesome ancient ruins and Hezbollah.
Much love,
Happy holidays,
Kirsten
