A Letter About Damascus

Darrell and Betty Bain spent a year working in Saudi Arabia. While there, they took two vacations, one to Damascus and one to Bangkok. Betty wrote letters to the folks back home describing what they saw and did. Darrell was so impressed with his wife's descriptive powers that he made copies of the letters. They've remained in his files for almost twenty seven years now. While embarking on a remodeling of their office, Darrell found the letters and re-typed them, then submitted them for publication so that others might enjoy Betty's letters, too. This is her first letter, describing their vacation to Damascus, Syria. It's been a while and perhaps the city has changed some, but its well worth reading Betty's talented prose as she relates their experiences and describes the city.
