We took the train from Deir es-Zor to Aleppo. A 4.5 hour journey beginning at 7am.
Nice view, but the sounds were more memorable than the sights. The family in front of us (6 children?? more??) had a 2 year old with squeaky sandals. Think of the noise of a dog toy. Everytime the child stepped. And then imagine a father encouraging his child to jump up and down and run the length of the train car. OVER and OVER again.
Equally remarkable - the parents survived the trip without incurring the wrath of fellow passengers.
Syrians LOVE children. And squeaky shoes???
