Ce qui suit est en anglais et je m’en excuse auprès des habitués; je pourrais élargir mon lectorat en écrivant dans cette langue, mais je ne ne m’y sens pas à l’aise, comme si je devenais quelqu’un d’autre. Tous ces blogs sont en anglais, à l’exception d’un ; je ne vous traduis donc pas les commentaires.

Here are the websites and the pictures of the bloggers in the meeting.
They represent a wide variety of interests and temperaments.
First and not least, Ayman, who has organized this encounter and who has a wonderful blog on little knows facts about Damascus.

Now, in no particular order : here is Sinan who also refers to Damascene facts, in a more militant way; the whole evening he made sure I was not left out by translating the “proceedings” for me when I got lost.

I cannot tell much about Hawa’s blog since it is in Arabic and my Arabic is still too weak

Now, Maher was a total surprise for me when I read his blog ; I would not have guessed him to be so sensitive

Same thing with Ammar who did not speak much during the evening but whose views about recent events are very interesting

Meet Sara, a very well travelled lady whose depiction of family life is very touching

Now, this is the firebrand in the group, Yazan ; I do not agree with his approach but he has the guts to speak his mind.

You will not see Dina, but you will enjoy her blog

At last, Amr whose blog made me discover places in Syria I did not suspect existed; and I thought I knew the country inside out !
Reading him makes me feel nostalgic about my hiking past.
