Photos: Lebanon and Syria scenes
I've just returned from Lebanon where I spent ten days, as mentioned briefly last week. It was a good time of refreshment, beauty, and creativity of all kinds. It wasn't a particularly good time of rest as there is just too much going on to sleep! I celebrated Easter, ate lots, went sightseeing including a day trip to Syria, shopped, watched movies, hung out with Sarah the hostess with the mostest, and went out on the town.
