In Damascus Now.


Today I started my first Arabic lesson. I decided to go with private lessons first, and then try to place higher at the university. It was great. I have gotten settled and comfortable here, and everything that was a worry coming over is taken care of. It really is a blessing how everything just seemed to fall into place. (This is a picture of my street. I thought it was pretty cool).
