Langsheen de Eufraat naar Doura Europos
... de aanleg van een stuwdam (Assadmeer) nu een vruchtbaar gebied: veel landbouw, irrigatie via aquaductjes, bedoeïnes met kuddes schapen…
Je kan begrijpen dat stadjes zich hier aaneen rijgen als een lang lint, water immers volop hier langsheen de boorden van de Eufraat.
De stadjes zijn erg proper, 's ochtends zijn bedrijvige handelaars en bewoners volop in de weer met het schoon vegen en poetsen van hun stoepen. Buiten de steden is het ietsje ...
Connecting the dots

Day 56: To the Euphrates
Everybody in the dorm was leaving in the morning, the two girls were heading to Palmyra so I walked down to the bus station with them and it turned out that I could get a direct bus rather than having to go to Aleppo and change which was also going through Palmyra.
