Sounds like a trip of a lifetime. I love visiting the Middle East, one of the richest locations in the world for humanity's history.

I'd also love to visit a place where Aramaic is spoken natively, although I think there's only a very few places in Syria and Iraq where this is the case. It won't be long before this language is extinct, and will only be known to us through books and liturgical usage in churches.

Lovely post!
