After Umayyad Mosque, we wandered in the souk. We discovered an unique shop that sells all kinds of textile, scarfs, bags, and embroideries made by Syrian and Palestinian women. I bought two scarves made with camel hair and silk. AK bought a piece of embroidery that depicts a Palestinian marketplace. After some souvenir shopping, we went to a shop called Bakdash, which is Syria's oldest ice-cream parlour. Bakdash has been around since 1890, selling rosewater and almond ice-cream topped with fresh pistachio. Each of us had a cone, and it was delicious.
