Back in Wadi Music, the tailor Mohammed and I became good friends

Ghzwan, my interpreter in Amman, posing as a tailor.

At the end of my Jordan/Syria trip, Ghzwan  agreed to call on my cell phone, both Mohammed (the tailor just above) and Anas, the Damascus craftsman at the beginning of the first of these two pages.

Both were quite delighted at hearing from me.

Thanks, Ghzwan
