Houses and alleys in Damascus

The Old city in Damascus was a mich mach of remains from all former centurys. Everything mixed as in a Hot Pot. Sometimes you would wish that the old parts should been treated in a better way. Now everything seemed to be decorated in power cabels!
I wish that some fairies would come along and wave their magic wands so the old reminds will last forever.

The Souk

In the old Souk you could find everything you will need in life. As usual I was most interested in what to eat …..Don’t know if this is too many pictures in a row in a blog. I just didn’t know which one I should delete! But maybe there are no rules.

Oil Spoons that you can form butter with? Or what...?

Cell phone purses Nuts and candy. Spices

Coffee beans

Bread

More oil

Honey

Perfume

A trip to Damascus

We have been for a short vacation in Damascus, the oldest capital on the planet, they say. We were supposed to drive by ourselves, but the papers for our car took to long to get so we had to take a taxi from Amman to Damascus!

We went for long walking tours through the old city, crowded with people in small narrow alleys.

I will show more pictures from the old town tomorrow!
