Our Lady of Lebanon.
I met a couple guys in my Beirut hotel (The Mayflower, interestingly enough) last night. An Iranian & a Lebanese, both living in London but are here on holiday. They invited me along to the north today to this statue. It’s a little north of Beirut, in Jneih, right on the Mediterranean coast. Really beautiful. After having lemonade & a Cuban cigar, we made our way to Tripoli for dinner. I still can’t get “The Halls of Montezuma” out of my head!
Tripoli was fine—a college town…a *Sunni* college town, to be clear. Most of the north are considered “American Puppets” according to my new Lebanese friend Mohammad (who’s been living in London for the past 20 years), because they’re Sunni and/or Christian (which means they do not support Hezbollah). If Mohammad hadn’t told me anything, I wouldn’t have known anything. It seemed like a pretty typical town: young men & women walking all around, eating, smoking, cavorting. You know, the way college kids do!
