Eventually I would like to write a Real Essay on my trip to Syria in June of 2010. In the meantime, however, I have a picture-heavy travelogue
Opening travels — Dubai, Damascus, Sweida, Phillipi, Bosra
Road Trip part 1 — Damascus, St Thekla’s Monastery, Valley of the Christians (St George Monastery, Crusader Castle)

I’m a young Orthodox woman living and teaching in the Republic of Georgia. I write about places I’ve been, books I’ve read, and thoughts on whatever seems interesting at the time.
