After the trials of getting my visa in order to get here, I am so glad I made it. As we prepared for this trip to visit Anwar's hometown in Lebanon, Dhour el Choueir, his face would light up. We all love our home countries but whenever Anwar talked it was like we were going to be visiting heaven. :) It is beautiful here. We have seen Roman ruins built on the temple of Baal. We have driven thru mountains and gazed at vistas that stretch forever. Today we walked through 2 million cedars. Some as old as 3000 years. There were times when I wanted to sneak away and simply sit in awe of God and His amazing creation. In fact, Ryan was able to do just that. The weather is glorious. The people are friendly. And I think I want to move here.
I will write more later and add pictures but I wanted to send a quick update. Lebanon is amazing. More later!!!
