Journalists at work, late into the night in Aleppo…

Posted in Uncategorized by carlenehempel1 on May 30, 2009

It’s 12:40 a.m. Sunday, and many of us are blogging away in beautiful Aleppo, Syria… Here’s a quick snapshot of what’s going on around me right now. It’s been like this for hours now, with everyone finding his or her way to this unofficial “newsroom” off the lobby after they had dinner at the market, or on the roof of this stunning hotel. I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating: I’m so proud of my gang.

Our gang, blogging away on a beautiful Saturday night in the city of Aleppo, Syria. Everyone is staring into his or her laptop except Sean, who's snuggled up beside me there, on the right, watching Beetlejuice on TV (translated into Arabic, of course.)

Some in our group, blogging through midnight Saturday and into early Sunday in the city of Aleppo, Syria. Everyone is staring into his or her laptop except Sean, who's snuggled up beside me there on the right, watching Beetlejuice on TV (translated into Arabic). Once again, it's a satisfying moment for me.
