It’s a mega sweet like macaroon, made of almond paste. Fluffy. Paid one-sixth of euro.

Mameluke minaret

Walking through Homs, the third biggest city in Syria, I run into a Christian church.

After that I go to search for the Church of Our Lady.

The legend says that a fragment of Virgin Mary’s belt was discovered in this church. It seems that the carbon 14 dating confirms the antiquity of it.
