It sounds like you had a good, scenic day and a nice walk. Lebanon sounds better from your perspective than I imagined it. Thanks for your suggestion for the ebook. Maybe someday, if I got motivated enough to try. I would like to warn other marks from things too expensive and advanced for them and redirect them to something they might be able to do.

Hearing about all of those cabs reminds me about New York...That's great how you got the beautiful weather.

Your stories reminds of the homeland. I know every street and every area you mention. I really miss Beirut. It is the City that never sleeps. Haven't read all your adventures yet but I am sure that I will get to it

i blush to say that there have been times when I have been either too
scared to eat the local food incase of a belly bug..or have been so broke that yes I have eaten Micky D's in some exatic places.
I have often travelled on almost fresh air years ago so that if i did eat it had to be bought for me or cheap.
