I am sure that you were there for different reason than to sight see so your perspective would be very different. I could probably understand you not wanting to return, especially the state some of the middle eastern countries are in right now. There are so many other countries on our list of places to visit that we would rather go to first but if someone were to send us there, we would most likely take them up on the offer. It would certainly be an eyeopener for us.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-37050646916415653932015-05-30T18:52:05.876-04:002015-05-30T18:52:05.876-04:00Interesting reading.

Travel opens up the mind to so many different things and gives people such a better understanding of people and cultures. I am sure many people would turn their noses up to an opportunity like that, we wouldn't though. We would totally jump at a chance to visit there. We agree, they do need a blog!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-70250469491690080532015-05-30T10:11:32.773-04:002015-05-30T10:11:32.773-04:00Yes, she is a wonderful writer and we agree that s...Yes, she is a wonderful writer and we agree that she does an amazing job of describing the area and making you feel like you are there.
