The Road to Damascus

Original Gate on the Road to the Old City of Damascus

Today we returned to Damascus and dropped off the rental car. Jim did a great job driving around the country! He really got the hang of driving like a Syrian on the way to Aleppo. Driving between lanes, passing on the left shoulder, passing on the right shoulder, squeezing between cars in separate lanes, he did it all. He needs to lean on the horn a little more. Maybe next time he'll have it perfected. Returned rental car without a scratch, but Jim did have to "buff out" some yellow paint from a taxi that scrapped us when the guy from the hotel pulled the car out from the parking spot when we picked up the car the first day.
