Syria was a bonus add-on to our trip to the Middle East. We were unable to get visas before we left home, so we took our chances that we would be allowed in at the border with Jordan. Thanks to a friendly chap in an olive uniform, we were welcomed into the country. In a short week, we saw magnificient mosques, remarkable Roman ruins, crusader castles and a mountainous monastery. In between were old cities with their timeless markets, and numerous encounters with friendly folks. Syria was a detour worth taking.
