Bosra


Curious glances, exchanged.

We smiled as we passed each other on the old Roman road and we both looked back after, just that I had my camera poised. Somehow I had a feeling that he would share my cheeky curiosity. This is what traveling is about; exchanges. The exchange of smiles, curiosity, knowledge and goodwill. Syria and Lebanon are both very old lands, steeped in faith and religion. Walking through the streets of Bosra which are laid out on the old Roman grid one cannot help but feel that a mere 28 years is nothing in this place that has been inhabited for centuries and suddenly, all your concerns, fears and worries seem petty; a speck of dust lost in the cosmos of time.
