Traveling alone this past week, with no one to appease but myself, my plans have become somewhat quixotic. I decided to travel to Aleppo, for example, about two hours before actually leaving. For such a short time here, it was definitely memorable. Some of my favorite memories:
- The guy on the bus who periodically walked down the aisle spraying all the passengers with horrendously-smelling cologne
- Touring the city with Rani, who currently works as a tour guide but showed us around for free (and hooked me up with some fabulous deals on souveniers!)
- Having tea with all of Rani's friends in the souqs (this took up the better part of an afternoon, as the souqs are 1.5km long)
- Having drinks (finally!) at the famous Hotel Baron
- Playing truth or dare, which led to a very interesting night
- Having my personality analyzed by Rani's roommate Ido, who was amazingly accurate
