About this blog

In early 2002 my plans for a long projected trip to China and southeast Asia were revised. I decided it was time to see for myself what was going on in Palestine and nearby states. Follows is an account of a 7 week trip to Jordan, Palestine, Egypt and Syria in July and August 2002.
