Apologies and Appetizers

I realize, in typical fashion, I wrote that I needed to take myself less seriously and then wrote an overview of the intense thoughts I have been having while here.

TOMORROW I will share stories (and some more pictures) of the ridiculous guy that David and I met in the street yesterday, the story of how I tied my camera around my neck like a tie and crawled barefoot in a bikini to the top of a rock in Byblos - with a crowd of very curious Lebanese men gathered to observe (don't worry John was there to protect me), and the story of David and me in the Service Taxi today trying to find our way back to John and Jamie's flat... As a little teaser, after the first one broke down we paid 500% more than we should have for the three block ride home in the second one.

Don't worry - I am laughing a lot and loving life. I live dimensionally!

I decided to share some of the fun pictures from the trip... Obviously there are lots of pictures and I don't want to give them all away now. But I thought that you might be entertained at a bit of an appetizer.

Photo Key:
1 Left - John and Jamie doing their pregnancy poses at the top of the Al Shouf Mountains when we went to the Cedars
2 Right - David and I at the Vineyard after and incredible meal with J&J of appetizers and Salmon. We may have also acquired a few things that might a little extra weight in our luggage on the way home.
3 Left - Brother of David's new friend trying to get our number so that we can hang out with them later...
4 Right - That's right, that sign reads BBQ.Juice.Ice Cream (SICK)
5 Left - John smoking the Sheesha in what Mimers likes to call "Dragon Style" a technique she is convinced he made up to irritate her.
