I've been back for a week, but it's taken me this long to return to functionality from a long and frustratingly surreal trip. Lebanon kicks your ass even before you get off the plane from a
rediculous 17hour torture flight. Then it gets worse. But for those who long for that breath of sweet polluted air of home and that taste of bitter sand, it could seem like heaven.
For all its grime, Lebanon
posseses an unrivaled beauty that captivates us and drags us into an intoxicating abyss of nostalgia.
Lebanon is a disciplinarian that laughs at your pain then gives you ice cream in an ancient village, (damn good ice cream too).
One thought that sticks with me is the description of Lebanon that is too vulgar for print, but it survives in a
rythymic khaos that
mezmerizes.
I'll miss it and long to return, so much so that I'd probably lose fortunes and decades seeking the return.

glad you made it safe. i am all over the place her in lebadubby. the job posting you forwarded to me is not practical, only paying approx $900 a month. nice pictures. i like the cliff with the building straddling it, its peculiarity that you noticed. how's siraj? see you in two weeks.
Sad condolences for the death of our beloved Darwish.
