I can't believe you lug all that camera gear around. That must weigh a ton!
Yes, my bag was chockful of camera gear

Really amazing report.
I am curious about the ISIS flag. I am sure many would be repulsed about the idea of keeping the flag, and many others couldn't resist taking that flag as a "souvenir."
Thank you,

. No, the ISIS flag definitely stayed where it was! It would have made a good conversation starter hanging on my wall back home though

. I did buy a YPJ and a YPG flag back in Qamishli to take home, to remind me of the trip and of the brave fighters I got to meet:
