Hi folks,
I just got back last night from a trip to the Middle East. I had the fortunate experience of crossing over the Turkey-Syria border and the Syria-Lebanon border. It was fascinating, and I'll be posting some pictures on my Website next week. Surprisingly, the border was well marked on the Turkey-Syria border, but not on the Syria-Lebanon border. I was surprised by the Turkey-Syria marking because Syria apparently still claims the Hatay province (the little piece of Turkey that hangs down along the coast halfway through Turkey) as its own--Syrian maps still show it as part of Syria. I'll leave you salivating until next week.
