Today I visited some dead cities (Roman and Byzantine cities abandoned in antuquity and never re-occupied, and so stand fairly intact as ruins to wander around in), walked on a Roman road, and saw some ancient monastaries, tombs, and a temple to Zeus. Syria has some cool things. It does not, however, have black pepper, peanut butter, or non-powdered milk.
