| Stone oven on which the best zeit u zaitar is made |
Zeit u Zaitar is a olive oil and herb and sesame seed mix that is spread over dough that is cooked on the stone. Mostly eaten for breakfast, my host dad always buys it after prayers on Friday mornings.
In the picture below, the hills in the background are in Syria. One of the countries in the region that I am not allowed to enter unless I purchase an expensive visa in advance. Otherwise, I will be rejected at the border.
I also discovered that I probably would not want to go to Greece for the sake of seeing ruins. I'm not that big of a fan. Sorry to all of you die-hard history buffs who find delight in each Corinthian pillar - I will leave them to you. As for myself, I will continue to search for summits and wadis and views to sketch. :-)
