The tours from Hama tended to be conducted in fabulous vintage cars. This trip to Palmyra was my second in a glorious white Pontiac from the 50s.

Unfortunately, it looked much better than it felt--after an hour on the desert highway with two more to go, I was sweating all over the vinyl seats. Doing crosswords in the back with my travel buddy only did so much to take my mind off the heat.
