Homs

Homs (Arabic, hkm+c+ H-.ims-.) is a city in Syria, the capital of the Homs Governorate. The city is located on the Orontes river and dates back to 2300 BC. In Roman times it was known as Emesa, and it was known as Kadesh during Biblical times. The Krak des Chevaliers is built on the mountain gap near Homs. It is also home to the Tomb of Khalid bin Walid, a famous and celebrated Muslim Warrior. The current population of the city is 700,000.

When we got back to the stadium, the entrances were packed. A young Syrian helped us find a way in because the stadium was already full (they oversold tickets). We went to the VIP section and even asked at the women and children's section, but they wouldn't let anyone else in. Finally, as things seemed bleak and the riot police came out to quell the shoving crowds, they let Geoff and Cajsa in at the VIP gate, and I squeezed in after them. The Syrian helping us out didn't get in himself; he was just trying to help a bunch of clueless foreigners -- that's how nice people are around here!

This guy was from Iran, but was working in Syria. When he found out Geoff and I were Americans, he said it was too bad we couldn't visit his country as it was beautiful, and, he insisted, Iranians really, really, really love Americans...REALLY! Moments like these make me really, really, really resent all political leaders who would lie and discredit other nations for their own dubious reasons.

The Syrians quickly realized we had only 2nd class tickets, but they didn't kick us out. We first sat on a wall for a couple minutes, until we were ushered over to the VIP seating area. It was absolutely unbelieveable. Not only did they let some scruffy foreigners in, but they put us in the best seats. Our day of Syrian hospitality was just getting started.
