Food (1) in Syria

The food in the Arabic countries is very distinct and different from the west and also the Asia. They are delicious and varied. It's inexpensive to dine at the restaurants or buy the food. The taste of the local people can be very salty or too sweet.

Tartus-People

The folks in Tartus are very friendly. I was invited into their houses or joined their conversation when families or friends gathered outside to drink mate or smoke water pipes. The area of the old city and the Award island are small, but it's interesting to walk around in those narrow alleyways and explore their beauty.

Tartus-Seashore

Last week, I traveled to Tartus, a seaport at the west of Syria. The hot air made me sweat all the time when I visited the streets and the seashore. But, it's wonderful to see the ocean, Mediterranean Sea, and smell it from the air.
