Well, I'm still in Lebanon, awaiting that elusive piece of paper that allows me to enter Sudan. There is no current news on if the visa will come soon or not...could be tomorrow, next month, or next year. In the meantime, I'm going to spend a week in Syria with my friend, Brent. We'll have a night or 2 in Damascus, then go on the home of his extended family for the remainder of the trip. This will be a good chance to learn more about the Arab/Syrian culture, as well as practice my Arabic, as English speakers will be few and far between.

I'll post pictures and recount any stories I deem worthy of your time upon my return to Lebanon.
