Beirut Airport - Beirut, Lebanon

…I came to Lebanon to find adventure, to look fear and discomfort in the face, to shake hands with them and walk on, still. That I have done. For that I am thankful.

I will be back here. There is much to Beirut that I have still yet to uncover. The winds have shifted the sands, and shown me a glimpse of what else there is, that will keep me hungry for more of this place.

Proud and grateful tonight.

Proud and grateful.

Barcelona, Spain

As we drove North things started to change. First, the check points. “Ok, Ive been through these.” Then the signs.

“Z, who is that man, the one on the signs?”

“Leader of Hezbollah”

A couple of these signs turn into almost every sign.

“Syria, over there”

Things started to feel real.

I have seen poverty, even extreme poverty, but always economic, never from war, and I had never seen war. It is unsettling, which seams self evident. When you see it for the first time, especially as a Westerner it is hard to reconcile, almost as if divided by 0, undefined, not able to compute.
