More Damascus

Chapel of Ananias, who met Paul on Straight Street, in the center of Old City Damascus. Paul was blind when he met Ananias, and Ananias baptised Paul, who could then see.
The Roman Arch on Straight Street


Inside the Umayyad Mosque. Inside, there were tons of groups praying. Many of the men and women were crying loudly and emotionally. It was an incredible sight.

Sarah in her robe at Umayyad Mosque. The grey cape definately makes you look like an outsider. Inside, Sarah felt uncomfortable, as she was treated pourly by the women in the mosque. The men had no problem with me. It was an interesting cultural moment. The mosque is divided into a mens and womens section.
