Sounds Good
Your blog reads like an epic! Cant wait to see your turkey entries. Syria is awesome, we all prefer it to Turkey, guide is fantastic and people are genuinely friendly (not just after your money). We miss you guys though, certainly isnt as much beer flowing anymore. Went to Crac des Chavaliers today, you'd have loved it. xxEd/.
