A to Z challenge: D





Damascus, the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world,  is my next destination. The city of jasmine that never sleeps. Damascus is a living museum spanning thousands of years. A city measuring time not by hours, days, months, and years but by empires it has seen rise and crumble to ruin.


As for the stitching part - I have no idea what to stitch while thinking about this trip. Any suggestions? 

So long my friends,
Evalina

  2. How about a Damascus tapestry pattern? Something to occupy you on the plane ride. :)

  5. Just found you again! Glad to see you are back doing AtoZ! Though this is not the B post, I went back and visited your other posts to catch up, and I've heard others mention Belize as THE place to be! Maybe someday. But for now, Maine has to be my Belize!

  8. Damascus is probably not a good place to be right now. I like the old Damascus--a couple thousand years ago.

  9. Oh, I would SO love to visit Damascus, and, really, everywhere Jesus ever went. (I know, you look at my blog and would never think I'm into religion, but I am a striving Catholic.) :-)

  10. The Damascus still has some beautiful culture and food, despite what the country is going through right now. I am a quarter Syrian, and my great-grandparents lived in Damascus before they came to America around 1915 or so.
