Taanayel

















This weekend road trip was with some a group of friends. Eight of us piled into a SUV and made our way over the Lebanese Mountains and into the Bekka. It was my first time that far "east" and was blown away (yet again) by the beauty, the food and the sites. Check out the photos here

















From small villages to local artisan foods...


















Local Druze guys making grape syrup from the newly harvested grapes.


















A stay at the local "ecoresort".... straight out of new mexico....



















And of course, not be missed... 2000 year old ruins...Aanjar, a rare Umayyad ruin built on the distinct rectilinear grid of the Romans.
