I went to my dentist for the annual check-up.
“Hmmmm,” he said, as he looked over my file. “I see I gave you a check-up last year just about this time, just before the war started. Didn’t you travel right after the check-up?”
“Eh, A weh aou a e ay.” (His hand is in my mouth)
“So when are you traveling this year? Just so I know what to expect.”
It’s been a hectic year since last summer. July 12 is almost upon us. I’ve written my last article yesterday, and now it is time for the annual pilgrimage to the motherland; Holland. Last year I wished you all a great summer. We all know what happened then, so I will refrain from wishing anything this year. In Lebanon you never get what you wish for, and everything you don’t want. I do hope I won’t miss too many news stories, both for your and my sake.
And I’ll see you again in August.

Ga je net weg?!? Jammer... hoop je te zien als je weer terug bent, dan... Hebben we weer even van plek geruild. Veel plezier in Nederland!

safe travels and a happy summer to you and your family!
I look so forward to your posts on life here - I hope you will still post from Holland, as your warm and wry take on Lebanon will be sorely missed otherwise!
