Snow. Again (sigh)

Snow is not something you might associate with the Middle East. But we do get snow. I understand that snow in Jerusalem (our southern neighbors) pretty much brings a halt to daily life. No skiing in Israel though. You’d probably get segregated hills anyway. Jews only, or Arabs only. From friends in Teheran (Iran) I heard that the slopes over there are not bad at all. And not segregated! Both genders on one slope. I bet the mullahs find that a slippery business.

It never snows in Beirut, we’re at sea level, but 45 kilometers outside Beirut, (up in the mountains, that is), you can do some really decent skiing.
And when the weather doesn’t permit skiing, we go sledding This is Eddie sledding with his little sister in Qannat Bakish.

And here is an old video I’ve tried to download before, but it didn’t work then. It works now. That is the famous cousin O I spoke about before; the future stunt man.
