"Error: The requested URL could not be retrieved "

Hello all. I've made into Syria! I wasn't sure if I was going to be allowed in since I did not have a visa before leaving the USA which is what is required (in theory) to enter. After hearing from many other travellers that it is sometimes possible to get a visa at the border I thought I'd try. After 5 hours of waiting at the Syrian border I was given my 15 day visa and an entry stamp. Quite happy about this.

I'm jumping ahead a little with my travels here. I know that I still need to get all of Jordan up on the blog. I'll get to it but looks like it won't be for another week. Syria has many websites that are not allowed to be viewed within Syria. Facebook, Skype and apparently my blog or any blog from Blogspot for that matter.

I found a way to get in to post this message but this is all I will be able to do. So you will all have to wait for those photos.
I'm doing very well. Starting to get sad knowing that I only have 20 days left. It's been flying by but I am still loving it. In Damascus at the moment. I'll be spending 9 days in Syria before heading to the **unmentionable** country where I fly out of. Have to be a bit careful because I would not have been allowed in had the border guards known that I have been or plan on going to **unmentionable**. I'll give a hint...It's occupied Palestine. If you've been following me, then you know where my last country in the middle east is. If not, well, you'll just have to wait. At least I can still check my email.
