I have been visiting different regions of Syria since June 13, 2016, and have not had sufficient time to post regularly.  However, until then, I will share some brief updates I had shared on social media, and otherwise will share writings/photos/videos from my prior 4 visits.

August 8, 2016: Down the Terrorist Sniper Road to Aleppo

On July 25, I visited the Qamar al-Sham restaurant which on July 24 was hit by terrorist shelling, killing and injuring many of the civilians inside, including at least 2 children, one of whom was an infant.

The croissant stand in Aamariya district of Thomas Gate is known not only to Damascenes but visitors from other areas of Syria. While prices for most goods have risen all across Syria, the stand keeps its prices low: 125 Syrian pounds per sumptuous croissant. On the first day of ‘Eid celebrations the stand is packed.
