Qala'at al Mudiq and Roman ruins
Originally uploaded by bastchild.
I made a day trip to Apamea, a Roman city from the 3rd century AD. The view was fantastic as were the Roman ruins, but you know, Roman columns are getting a bit tiring. On the way there, as usual, locals were curious about me, and we stumbled through bits of conversation. One guy even paid for my bus fare. The bus drops you off at the bottom of the hill, and I was prepared for the long hike up, but a dude on a motorcycle stopped and gave me a free lift to the ruins. It's hard to believe, but Syrians are even nicer than Jordanians. I think this part of the world is by far the safest, cheapest, and friendliest so far.
