Hope they're all made from local products, i.e. the straw from Lebanon, woven into brooms in Lebanon, the bread made locally (too much to ask for local wheat), the loofah gourds grown in Lebanon. These items are precious. You cannot find a straw broom in the USA anymore. They're all plastic.<BR/><BR/>The door on the dekkani is also amazing - that circle pattern in old battered wood. You don't see that workmanship anymore. That is a pre-war door. My village was sacked in '85 and all the doors and windows removed to be used by people who needed them more (one supposes) so although the village has been rehabilitated, and you still see old walls of stone, there are no such doors left. Treasure this place.Leila Abu-Sabahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14161833022292457787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11791864.post-2000656195711338022008-06-26T17:09:00.000+01:002008-06-26T17:09:00.000+01:00I thought you were going to go home and bask in th...I thought you were going to go home and bask in the sun on the balcony!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing the diving information; I think tomorrow both boys will be going to the end of Hamra to check things out.<BR/><BR/>BAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
