  1. Autostrade Vendors, Lebanon

    We pulled off the Autostrade (coastal highway running along the Mediterranean) to buy some drinks from a small vendor on the roadside...very common along the Autostrade; the main highway in Lebanon.

    They have a bit of everything and are dotted all along the road...just pull over, state your wish, and the owner/worker give you full service...no need to stop the engine or even get out of the car, and super cheap!

  2. Lebanese Cedar

    While it's true, no one thing defines any place...a good argument could be made for Lebanon and its Cedar Trees & Wood.

    The Lebanon Cedar has always been the national emblem of Lebanon, and it is seen on the Lebanese Flag.

    Cedar of Lebanon was important to various civilizations.

    Fishing boats in the historic port town of Byblos (Jbeil, in Arabic), Lebanon on the Mediterranean Sea.
    Almost always bustling with activity--both native fisherman and visitors to the nearby Souk alike.

    Go up and introduce yourself to one of the COUNTLESS fisherman on their boat...for a small fee he may be willing to take you out on your own private tour of the Mediterranean Sea!
