I will never cease to be amazed at the speed and efficiency of that mechanic. What was so unusual was that we were in Syria, 3000 [sic] miles from the VW factory in Germany, and that the mechanic could make one phone call, get the part and with less than 2 hours work, have the car on the road again at a cost of $25.00. I doubt that it could be done that fast in Sonoma, California.
We completed our trip and the visit to the old ancient town of Tadmore. The Palmyra story is one of an Oasis in the desert that had entertained visitors from many lands, a far away as China.
TADMORE, now known as Palmyra, was built by Solomon on the trade route to the far east. From the Old Testament: Second Chronicles, Chapter 8, verse 4. "And he built Tadmore in the wilderness, and all store cities, and all store cities which he built in Hamath."
Many camel caravans, loaded with spices, silks and china passed thru this arch, the gateway to the old city of TADMORE.
