Syria - Eid 2010

Palmyra Ruins and Deir Mar Musa Monastary in Syria

My falafel friend from Lebanon recognized me in Damascus!

The long trek up to the monastery

I am smiling here but really I am not looking forward to the hike in the blazing heat

My mini bus experience

Whats not to love about free camel rides through ruins

Yum, gotta love dates!

My New Apartment in Beirut

Last year I lived in a very small, 1 bedroom German apartment building. This year I live in a very spacious, 2 bedroom/2bath/4 balconies apartment. I am loving my new space!

Living Room

Front Entrance

Kitchen with Balcony

Master Bedroom with balcony

Spare Bedroom - Which I converted into my reading room. I never use the balcony off that room so I pushed the bed up against the balcony doors and now have a perfect day bed for reading! Notice Petra (my cat) enjoying the reading room!

Hallway

More Living Room

The White had to go!
