Summer is Approaching

As nothing is happening in Lebanon on the surface at the moment, not much to report on. In the meantime, some images of an approaching summer; hanging out on the Corniche.

The 'walkers' is a common phenomen at the Corniche. They walk from the McDonalds to the Bain Militaire and back again in a brisk tempo. Check out the guy with the cell phone. The two guys on the fence are 'watchers'.

These guys sell corn on the cob, lima beans with salt and coriander and lemon, and some yellow type of bean, called 'turmos'. Very healty stuff.
It's 'open window' weather. Summer is on its way. I think we've had our last storm.

Meteorologically speaking, that is. The UN is complaining that the border between Syria and Lebanon is ‘porous’ to see the least, and that someone is rearming Hezbollah. Israel says Hezbollah is back and armed to the teeth’ pre-war strength. Very comforting.
