I've dreamed for years to visit Lebanon...and here we are...I'm bringing Mari and Leslie with me to visit Beirut and to ski in Lebanon. This is also the 50th country in Mari little country count...a nice milestone! No more roman temples for us these 5 days spent in Lebanon.

This blog is just short of 10 years old. We have now move to South Africa. Why South Africa? Simple, great wine, great food, great golf and even more amazing diving! I will for once continue to blog from time to time about home. After all, this is just my fourth continent after having grow up in Europe, lived in Asia for twenty years, and even spent a full year living the life of Buenos Aires.

Middle East snack...we had a lot of them!

Restoration, this will be the new Urban Museum

Today Beirut...still a lot of work to do!

former cinema...used to be on the Green line, now in the middle of renovated Downtown

St George Cathedral...it's time for the Christmas trees to say bye bye for this year..

another beautiful Church downtown, this one is the St Louis des Capucins cathedral

I'm a serious fan of Elie Saab...but he is a little too pricey, or let say, we love our current lifestyle...

Roman baths

they still have to "protect" few buildings...indeed...

this is a no-no pic, also refer as a "stolen" pic...didn't crop it...what's on it...one of the armed armored vehicule that you see all over town...

this one was way easier to take...

Beirut daily pavement...

our last little dinner in Beirut...Leslie was looking at cartoons back at the hotel...

between sunand rain...for few days...

My husband and I long for Lebanon. He is from Toledo, Ohio and there is a large population of Lebanese and a couple of amazing restaurants. It is on our short list and have enjoyed reading. Thanks for sharing.
