During our time in Turkey we ran into a number of travelers that had recently come out of Syria, and they had only good things to say. In America, we hear about the governmental policies of Syria, but nothing about what it's like to actually live in or visit the country. We decided to venture south from Turkey with a little bit of trepidation and caution. However, once we arrived in Syria we were just plain blown away by the absolute friendliness of the local people.
