Days Go By!

Sorry I haven't posted in about a week, I think I may have a case of "Blogger's Block" or something! It is kind of an unusual thing for me, even though I love to talk, to write about things or thoughts that go on throughout my day. As weird as it is to say, even living in a new country, my days aren't action packed with exciting things 24/7, who knew life can be as normal as ever through such a big change? While I write this I've realized how great a day I had, and now as most of your days have just began, mine is almost over. Sunday's are now my new "Tourist-y" days, and our adventure today was amazing to see. We left around 11 to drive to Byblos, an ancient port town and city of 8,000 years of ruins and history. Byblos was absolutely beautiful and the history behind the old and new of the area was exhilarating for me, I never knew I like history as much as I do until today. Walking through the ancient ruins of the city was one of the best experiences I have had in Lebanon so far. Roman columns,citadels, fortresses and artifacts are reserved in the miles long tour of the area. Huge stone towers, carved rock and beautiful architecture are nestled in on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, with the updated yet still antique looking port next to it. I learned the legend of Pepe, a man who was the decade long celebrity of the port of Byblos, and was so happy to have acces t
o walk along the Sea, as so much of it is carelessly blocked off in Beirut from construction, unused land and industrial buildings. Sunday's are ,y adventure days from here on out, and Byblos was the perfect awakening to explore Lebanon and the treasures I know this ancient land has to show me. But a little warning, if I don't post anytime soon, I've probably ran off to live on an old sailboat in the cutest port of Byblos, just so you will know where to find me:)
