Syria

After having posted on the Kefer Soussah square project the other day I felt like I should also pass on some pics I snapped from inside the Tishreen National Sports Complex taken the same evening. The complex has been under construction for at least the past year…trust me, I would know, I work out there. The construction here was mainly focused on the regional Special Olympics held here last week and as you can see things look pretty good.

Hope everyone’s weekend is going great!
