Roadtrip to Rasafa

For my last couple days in Syria, we took a trip to Rasafa, a Byzantine site about an 8 hour drive from Tell Mozan. We piled into vans and hit the road for the long ride. 

Singing songs to pass the time. 

Matteo does not really play guitar, but sure does look the part. 

Rest stop.

This is actually the same rest stop my bus stopped at on my first day in Syria. 

This might not look like much, but that river is the Euphrates. 

I thought it was exciting.
