A bunch of us took a day trip to Beirut, Lebanon. During the trip, we saw the site where the bomb exploded on February 14th 2005, killing the Lebanon’s Ex-Prime Minister. The explosion was massive, killing 30 people. The site is still under international investigation. Many of the cars surrounding the explosion site still remained in the exact same spot as on the day of explosion...shattered windows where covered with plastic to protect the interior of the cars from the rain. Prior to making are way back to Damascus we had a quick cheese burger and fries at the Hard Rock Café, Beirut. The café was very empty, the bombings has scared off most of the tourist industry, once again.
The pictured posted is a random village we passed on the way to Beirut. Despite the bombings, Lebanon is truly a beautiful country.
