Last week we were in Lebanon for a conference. We were able to travel around to a few sites in Lebanon and had a great time enjoying good food, friends and the Lebanese lifestyle.
The Lebanese remind me of Italians. They are relaxed in their attitude, love good food and enjoy life. I think I could live there!
We went out to the Eastern part of the country to a place called Baalbek. Unbelievable temples that are rather well preserved and huge!
We were on our way back to our hotel from Baalbek through the mountains (ski area) and stopped in this little town for lunch. It was family owned and the mother of the family (maybe she was 80 years old) was sitting outside enjoying the weather. She gave us apples from her tree and made us coffee in her house. We also ate in the restaurant. She was so sweet and I would have loved to sit with her for hours.
We went to the Hariri mosque and enjoyed shopping in the downtown area of Beirut.
We never saw this before. This is sheesha/argila/hookah (whatever you call it in your country) that was put into a pineapple and watermelon. I never saw that before. I wonder how it makes the tabacco taste?
