who offered us a ride back to Damascus from Busra. Since we would have waited more than an hour for the last public bus, this was a good opportunity. Another, younger tourist was also invited, and we all agreed that driving by way of Qanawat would be a nice scenic alternative to the Amman-Damascus freeway. So, we arrived in Qanawat, which is actually better described by the number one VT contributor. But, I do provide some good photos here that he does not have.

and talked with our new friends as the sun began to set. The setting here in Qanawat is very relaxed, but I wouldn't recommend an overnight stay as the town is not much.
