November 3rd, 2023 Krak des Chevaliers, Homs, Syria

 9AM We left for the Virgin Mary Monastery. 

11AM We arrived at the village of Saints Sergius and Bacchus. We listened to the prayer in Aramaic and trekked through the mountain path following the steps of Saint Thecia. The remains were moved back to her home in Turkey.

4PM We left for Krak des Chevaliers, a UNESCO World Heritage site. It was a finely preserved example of the Crusader castles.

6:10PM We finally left for Homs. We arrived before 7PM and we still missed Saint Mary Church of the Holy Belt. We had dinner at the Julia Restaurant. The food was okay but I still got sick later in the night.

9PM We slept to leave at 7AM.
