Beirut, Lebanon

Wild sunset on Saturday evening as I strolled back from Robert's house on the Corniche in Beirut. It's nice to walk among palm-trees. Bought some books in Beirut (Burning Tigris: a history of the Armenian genocide, Seymour Hersh's Chain of Command, and Ilan Pappe's new history of the Middle East), and dropped off some special Qamishli cookies at the Mashlabs house as an Eid present, but they weren't at home. Had planned to visit friends in Chatila refugee camp, but the day wore on and it was eventually too late. Trip worth it just for the sunset...
