Planning Stages
Why am I going to Syria? Hmmm? I needed a companion country for my ninth trip to Turkey and well, it was in the neighborhood. Also, it fit the bill on other fronts. I like the vibe from middle eastern culture and Syria seems to have plenty to offer travelers at reasonable rates. I am spoiled. I may never be able to visit the western lands of the Euro again, unless somebody pays my way. Syria has not been overdeveloped or over visited and this appeals. This will probably change in the near future as more and more people seek authentic travel experiences away from the tourist ruts. I am a little afraid to return to Turkey for this exact reason. It is almost ten years since my first visit and I was surprised at the changes the last time I was there. And by all accounts I feel I will see even more changes this next trip and this worries me. I know I’m selfish, but I want to keep Turkey all to myself.

Farewell Anita. You are my eyes and ears out there, in Damascus and beyond.
Farewell, Pablo Neruda:

AMO el amor de los marineros
que besan y se van.
Dejan una promesa.
No vuelven nunca más.
En cada puerto una mujer espera:
los marineros besan y se van.
Una noche se acuestan con la muerte
en el lecho del mar.
