Summer time adventure

Much like rare celestial events this week’s events will take centuries to repeat themselves. People get excited, prepare cameras, and travel from far and wide to observe, and in this case participate in the phenomenon.

The event is a cambing trib, including Syrians from across Canada. Ihsan is coming from the beautiful, but horrendously boring PEI, Sean is coming from the neat and tidy capital, and Bassel will be joining us from Toronto. Throw in a little get together on Thursday with Zaid Fahham who is in Toronto at the moment, and you get the rarest occurrence of blogger/Syrian meetup ever.

One of the interesting things about this trip is how we are all connected. I met Bassel at a BBQ a few years ago, Bassel met Ihsan and Sean in Montreal last summer and I met Ihsan through blogging. I know Zaid through blogging and through his brother Amr. Ihsan knows Zaid and Amr from Syria. The six degrees of separation seems to be at work again.

The meat is marinating, the coal, man2al, and argileh are all waiting to be used, all that’s left is for the company to arrive, and the rest of the Syrian bloggers…

Keep posted
