My last post about Beirut wasn't so positive-- mostly because we were interviewing in a sauna all day-- thankfully both the interview venue and my impression of Lebanon improved immensely over the last few days. You can definitely see very obvious signs of the recent troubles- tanks and soldiers everywhere, bombed out buildings, barbed wire etc- the Lebanese people seem tense, and many of the people we talked to are trying to find work outside of the country, but for the most part, life is going on as usual. The recruiting agent took us around so we could see some of the hills surrounding the city, and of course, we ate a lot too- Lebanese food is excellent- especially the fruit!!! We also saw the Rawche (or pigeon rock) which has a huge hole in it-- it reminded me of the one on the Gaspee... (Piercee Rochee or something like that...).We just arrived in Jordan about an hour ago, and the drive from the airport was dark so I can't comment on it at all yet, but the visa is pretty.
Here are some more pics of Beirut- I'm going to bed!
Miss you!
