Day trip to Saida, Lebanon and the beach

We orginally went to this beach for surfing but as you can see there were no waves, we still had a nice time floating around.
To most people a tour of a soap factory might sound extremely boring but it was actually quite interesting. Here is what I learned soap originates from the Middle East, I learned the long complicated process of soap making, I purchased soap made from olive oil (very common here), the picture above shows how they stack the soap once it has been cut, and after all that I appreciate soap a lot more - watch out family, It looks like soap might be a Christmas present for you - sorry, no more Guatemalan coffee.
The video below is of us in the market getting falafels. You can see from the video that the market in Saida is very pretty. Enjoy the video
