lebanon… day 4

wandering about beirut.  

war torn, yet bustling with hope for a better future.  

a land of contrasts to say the least.

my humble abode.  walid was nice enough to let me take over this room for ten days… much better than the impersonal nature of a hotel… and, it’s free!  i just treat him to dinner sometimes.
