    Ruins and the Reality Show

    This past weekend, Sara, myself, and our friend P. decided to visit Palmyra, Syria's premier ruins. And they were impressive.

    But we also ran into a slightly more modern triumph of Syrian culture:

    It's Top Model Syria 2007, currently aired on the official Syria Channel. (But, who knows, it could be coming to a channel near you soon!)

    Taking advantage of the historic setting of Palmyra, the group was not only filming,  they  were engaged in  the age-0ld  tradition of playing catch  with a soccer ball (or at least trying to).

    Sara and I chatted with one of them. (Yes, I initiated the conversation. So?)

    She was lovely. And since I am dedicated to my research, I scoured the Web for more info about the show. Sadly, there are just a few precious pages.

    P.S. Yes, our Internet connection remains bad.

    Lovelier than Sara? The ruins looked lovely, too.

    No, ma'am, definitely not!

    No, definitely not!
