Biblical Road to Damascus
Saturday, November 15, 2008
Damascus, Syria
A funny thing happened to Saul on the road to Damascus - to us to!
We found the Bagdad Cafe . Close to the turn off to Iraq (only 152 kms away) we stopped at this little Bedouin Enterprise and had a cup of tea and chatted to the brothers who set this up in the middle of the desert, with no available water. Hope it works for them.
Of course Saul's happening was a little more significant, which involved falling off his horse, going blind and changing his name to Paul. We learn more about all that in our day of touring Damascus - next entry.
