Pictures
Thursday, July 21st, 2005Here are some pictures from Syria and Lebanon. This is the first place we stayed at.
Here are our beds on the roof the first night. Notice the tears in the matresses. I don’t have a picture of our room the second night, but it was awsome.
This is the Leila (night) Restaurant and Terrace where we ate at our first night in Damascus. From left to right: me, Brian, Steven, Tyler, and Juan (the Argentinian guy.)
This is a picture of me in the courtyard of the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus. This is typical of what unveiled women put on to enter mosques (those that they are allowed to enter, that is.)
Windows in Damascus.
Cool watermellon on a hot summer day.
Here’s a picture of Tyler sipping Syrian brew at the Bab Sharki cafe in Damascus.
Here’s our Cancun-esque party outside of Beruit.
This is Place de l’Etoile in Beruit, a swanky area that was completely destroyed in the Lebanese civil war but has been rebuilt to look old.
