Do the in-laws say it’s bad there… Here we hear some pretty troubling things going on but I never trust our media accounts.

Lynz,
I love your posts, your stories. It makes that part of the world a bit more real to me.
The US is so different.
I don’t know how you help up for as long as you did. As well as you do now.
HUGS

I loved the Bahamas, at age 15. England was a bit dicier, due to my health issues, and my weight! Many complications there! But it was beautiful!

Lovely photos, at a time when there was peace in Syria. It’s good to read how well you got on with your in-laws (from comments above) and I also hope theyre safe now. The store fronts are very colourful and I imagine the souk would be, too.

Thanks for sharing images and memories of a place I will never visit. The culture might intrigue me, but the climate would send me running for a rock to hide under.
