currently in Beirut, travelling to Damascus.. plus isla some trip to Larnaca.. we gotta seduce some sea-wolf and get a boat ride:]]

excerpts:

"I was running along the Corniche this morning, the newly developed footpath along the Mediterranean, and enjoyed watching all the men in swimsuits out on the rocks. Only men are allowed to swim publicly, so it was nothing but men in swimsuits for a good mile. The men here are so damn attractive, I'm losing my mind...."

We came into town today (from our apartment in Byblos), to put a deposit on a flat in Hamra. Looks like we'll relocate on the 14th. Unfortunately, Hamra is a restricted area and I can't take photographs. Thus, I found the one above on the internet. It reminded me of some graffiti I saw my first visit to Hamra which read "make music not war" on a street lined with military patrol.
