How about that? I have never been to Aleppo but as I am reading the latest post on this subject the name is mentioned on the news. They spoke about the fighting there and nearby villages. Tanks had leveled many of the buildings. So while some places, gratefully,  may have improved we are still left others that have gone backwards.

Tom Sawyer mentioned the other day when we were discussing the demise of several countries how he was fortunate. He is able to reminisce on climbing the Buddha carvings cut into the wall at Bamiyan. As we know this is no longer possible.
