My hell

Is the Beirut-Damascus border crossing. The Syrian side, to be specific.

Last night I had a horrific experience attempting to cross into Syria to renew my Lebanese visa, and I'm hardly the first American to have such a bad time. I am going to write up something about it, but in the meantime, enjoy this picture I took while waiting for ten hours under the glower of Bashar al-Assad. I call it "My Hell".
