Just days before the official holiday of Eid Al Adha, the Ministry of Education for the Adana region announced that the schools would close a few days earlier to circumvent the spreading of the H1N1 virus. This sudden change meant that I was at a loose end, awaiting a scheduled bus tour to Lebanon and Syria. What would I do with four extra days? I quickly changed gears, and decided to go ahead of the tour company and arranged to meet them along the way. (Hate organized tours,anyway!) Besides, I wasn't planning on taking the Syrian portion of the trip, since I have already visited Damascus and Aleppo a few times before. So, let me tell you how it call happened, and I'll pepper the blog with a few of my favourite pictures taken along the way.
