In Damascus , people watch as the fire lit up the sky . They were disappointed we were not seeing the best of their city . We tried to avoid contact with police , but needed their help with road directions . On our next visit I had gotten so used to hearing in Damascus that `` something is happening '' that I was almost inured to it Young people laughed with me ; now after sustained attacks I do n't know how many are still alive .
