Dimashq!

Alden has arrived in Dimashq. He is exhausted; witty commentary will thus be limited. He found a nice little "funduq" downtown near the huge souq. A brief tour of the souq and Alden found an ice cream place. Alden likes ice cream on hot days.

Alden finds Damascus very foreign, and now he is completely solo in his travels. Indeed, he is exhausted; he will sleep well tonight.
