OMG SYRIA

[brigdh]

I'm home again! And so is my luggage, only two days later (they lost it, I suspect somewhere in Turkey). I am gradually readjusting to things such as not speaking Arabic to strangers and eating things other than lamb. I have many, many stories to tell and photos to post, but most of them are on my Mac laptop, which, alas, needs repair. (Even macs, apparently, do not survive being dropped screen-first on to metal tables, but that is what super-deluxe warranties are for.)

I didn't have much time to check LJ while I was gone, so let me know: how are all of you? What exciting things have happened? And, most importantly: hi!
