| Playing Backgamnmon in Shatila, an old argileh café at the sea shore |
I have gone on my annual Trek to the Motherland: I have
to replenish my body and soul with energy in order to be able to deal with
another year of Lebanon. It is a country of incredible beauty and wonderful
people, but the place is a paradox. What you experience in Lebanon in one year,
you experience in another country in a life time. The pace of living is so fast,
yet so relaxed at the same time, that it drains your energy like no other
place. And so I have gone to re-energize.
In the meantime, I will leave you with a typical Beirut
street scene - a different backgammon game - every week. I hope to see you
again after the summer holidays.
