A Couple Day to Roam Around Beirut, Lebanon

When I first heard that we were going to Beirut for the weekend, I thought like many Americans may have...Beirut, isn't that a war zone? Well, maybe in the 1980's it was, but modern day Beirut is a fast remodeling city with much to see & do & we just scratched the surface on this trip by walking around some of the downtown area. From the look of things, this city will be quite full of more things to do & more fancy places to stay within the next 5-10 years, as construction was going on everywhere downtown.

Here is the view of the Mediterranean Sea, just across the street from my second floor hotel room.




Ah, the streets of Beirut…mixed with ancient ruins, modern ruins & many modern developments & high rise buildings like one would see around Europe or America.
