Norias
These norias, syrian water wheels, are the most attractive things in Hama, old of several centuries, they decorate the city and entertain visitors with theirs noisy swirling sound. So, here I am down in a very nice little hostel, compared to the previous I did down at Aleppo. Hama, famous for its water wheels. Hama, suppposed to be the most religious one in the region or even the country, but where I have seen the most smiles returned back at me from both men and women.
Some kids have the most sparkling green eyes I have ever seen.
For those interested, I have been dragging since I left Istanbul a little sore throat that is getting bigger, but since I haven't been to a pharmacist yet, cause I am too lazy and since the fever is gone and I am in a very confortable bed (I'll be in a couple of minutes anyway), I'm using this time and the stop we made to this town, with my two new fellow travellers Peter and Stewart, to sleep a little more and recover.
I've been taking a nap already since 3 pm this afternoon.
And it's super unbelievably hot in the afternoon here.
I cannot give you any of my opinion yet on Syria, cause as weird as it is, I have none for the moment. I cannot
Le Pelican
Attached and bored from his captiveness, very used to having people around all day longm he didn't even bother snapping my fingers out when I tried touching it. Quite impressive by its massiveness. make up my mind on whether I like it or not.
I'll make my way to Krak des Chevaliers first thing tomorrow morning, and then Palmyra in the afternoon to enjoy the camel and horses festival, then it will be Damascus. Hopefully by then I'll have a better and clear opinion.
Until then, Tada
