For having so many soldiers and police officers standing on almost every street corner in this country, I don't really feel that safe at all. Half of them sit down on a chair and are texting while their gun is a foot or two away from them on the ground or propped against the wall. Anyone could easily grab it and shoot up 10-15 people before anything was done about it.
Anyway, We went on another trip today. We stopped at some really random places but I can't remember what they all were. At one shop I bought some Cuban cigars! Oh, and there was also this sign that I had to take a picture of:
Now everyone can enjoy diabetes!
We met Walid Jumblat (some politician guy) at Beit El Dine, which is this really cool palace that is probably important for some reason but I didn't pay attention during the tour. I didn't get any pictures because the security there was huge and wouldn't allow more than one camera for the whole group and no cell phones, but here's a picture from the internet.
We also went to a winery and went through the underground cave passages where they keep all the wine to age. We got to do some wine tasting and then bought a few bottles for like $5 each to take with us.
We went to Baalbek after, which is this Greek/Roman temple place. It was awesome, that's about all I have to say about it. So here is the only part of my blog you guys actually care about. Pictures!
The full album is on facebook, these are just a few photos. Outside of the Baalbek there is a little museum type thing that is run by Hizbullah. Basically it's a huge bunker filled with weapons and pictures of dead people from the attack by Israel a few years ago, and signs saying that Israel should be destroyed with crosshairs drawn on different places in Israel. It was some pretty creepy stuff. I don't want to post some of the pictures I got because they're really graphic, but here are some from the outside:
