Have a Great Summer!

Greetings from 33°53’39 N & 35°28’28 E (courtesy of Google Earth), the heart (or actually 'head', if you want to go for exact translation) of Beirut.
The bug exterminator - a guy with a little truck that expells gigantic clouds of foul smoke all over the neighborhood - woke us up at 6:00 AM this morning! It promises to be a long, hot and humid summer over here. No rest for the wicked.
The three of us will therefore be heading for the Motherland in a while, so hubby can enjoy a long vacation from us, yep yep, while we will spend some time at 52°05’10 N & 5°11’47 E, then descend to 44°24’52 N & 1°12’31 W, and after that I do not know where the wind will take us this summer. I might blog, sporadically so. I am taking a 1993 laptop with me, which doesn't have wifi, hifi and mabaarifshoe, all that stuff. Still has a floppy drive. Anyone wishing to reach me/us, call my parents.
Adios and have a great summer!

Hello,

I have quoted part of your post on anti-semitism in last week's round-up of the Lebanese blogosphere. Published on the "Global Voices Online". (A copy is also on my blog)

BTW your posts are interesting.
Best wishes on your vacation.
