Lebanon-

At the end of February I went to Lebanon. The purpose of my trip was to do some research for work as well as what we call a "visa run". The government in Jordan gives me a visa to stay in the country that lasts about a month and I either have to go through a process to re-new the visa OR leave the country and re-enter so that they give me a new visa stamp! I had come to the point that I had to leave the country which is partly what led me to Lebanon.

Lebanon, as you can see from the pictures, is a really beautiful country. It is still struggling to get back on it's feet from the war with Israel last summer but none-the-less very beautiful. We were in the capitol, Beirut, in the south, Tyre and visited in some refugee camps as well. I will be returing at the end of this month to work further with my research with the deaf. Enjoy the pictures.....
