Scenes from the old town Damascus 2 of 4



Seed shops: In the old town there are wonderful seed shops where the seeds and nuts are laid out to taste prior to making a selection or rather selections. I brought honme roasted smoked pistacho nuts, but there is not one that isn't wonderful.




A car is reflected in the window of a restaurant which advertises its meals on the on outside.






The doors in the old town are beautifully carved.



Making Bread: The dough is flattened like pizza dough, put on the cushion, and the man holding the cushion by a cloth handle slaps it into the wall of the oven where it cooks for just a few seconds.
