  6. 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!

  8. The Corniche, Raouche, Lebanon

    Raouche, a neighborhood in West Beirut, is most synonymous with its famous Pigeon Rocks--two huge rock formations, which stand like gigantic sentinels; a popular destination for locals and visitors alike. View the Rocks from the famous Corniche, a wide seaside sidewalk, and peruse cliff-side cafés.

  9. Politics as Usual.

    A police officer & food worker in a heated debate about--what else?--Lebanon's political future. The green painting on the wall is the symbol for the Amal Movement, a militant Shi'a Muslim political party (and notable force in the Lebanese Civil War).
