I didn't think it would be possible to see to many Roman ruins. I'm "ruined" out after Palmyra. It's a small town, with a scattered Roman city on it's outskirts. As usual, not to many tourists, so the highlight was crawling and climbing ... Read more >

So, I'm in Damascus right now. I really liked it here so when I finished Lebanon I came back. In a few days or a week or so, I'll head to Northern Syria. Then Turkey. I think I'll be spending Christmas in Turkey. I'm not sure where I'll go from there.... Read more >

Well I've covered a lot of ground in the past few days. I started in Ba'albek, Lebanon. It is a small town in the middle of Hizbollah controlled territory but it has to have some of the best Roman ruins I've ever seen. I would say that I liked the ruins ... Read more >

Getting to Bosra was an adventure in itself. Not because there was a lack of public transportation. Just the global fact that taxi drivers and bus drivers are the shittiest people in the world. That's all I'll go into for that. Also Bosra is right ... Read more >

Sorry I haven't updated in awhile, I've been keeping myself busy in Damascus. So far Syria is definitely my favorite middle eastern country. The people here are so friendly and hospitable. Even after I tell them I'm American. I really love Damascus, ... Read more >

I only spent a week in Israel. One or two days in Tiberias,(On the Sea of Galilee), and five days in Jerusalem. It was expensive but it's an amazing city. Me and my Aussie friends stayed in the Muslim quarter. It was quiet at night cause of the curfew.... Read more >

Not what I expected. Well, after my Israeli border debacle anyway. I was stuck on the border for five hours trying to get in. I was the last guy let into Israel that day on the King Hussein Bridge crossing. Even the Palistinians got in ahead of me.... Read more >

A lot has happened in the past few days so I'll try to keep it short and concise. I'm still with the Aussies, we get along great and we kind of have a similar itinerary so were traveling together for the moment. Getting to the Dead Sea from Amman was ... Read more >

Me and my Aussie friends, Dave, Kyle, and Britt hitched/rode a taxi from Wadi Rum to Petra. Petra was beyond description. As much as visiting the site itself, just as rewarding was sitting in a Sheesha bar talking for hours with a Bedouin and Palistinian.... Read more >

I finally managed to pull myself away from Dahab. Pristine coral reefs, 1.75 a night accomodation and 2 dollar meals. It was hard to leave to say the least. I climbed Mt. Sinai before I left. We climbed in the middle of the night so we could see ... Read more >

I've been in Dahab I think a week now. This is one of the places that you get here as a backpacker passing through, and then stay forever. I got here via bus from Luxor. It was an 18 hour bus ride overnight. They played Arabic movies, which mostly ... Read more >
