Home in Damascus from Lattakia! There was something kinda poignant about reading "On the Road" during our bus ride through the Syrian country-side :)
Lattakia was beautiful, the beach on the Mediterranean was exactly what you see in pictures; just clear water, white buildings jutting out from the mountains on the coast, ports lined with teal mosques. The city had some great restaurants, but one of the biggest differences from Damascus was that the restaurants actually opened after sun-down, because of Ramadan. Here in the Old City, the rules about Ramadan are fairly flexible.
One more day here fi Damashq (and our Arabic placement exam, gahh), then off to the Dead Sea!
