I wish we only worked 1 day a week and had the 6 others off.. In a world of my own that would be the case! By the way, I didn’t know flying kites was so complicated. It was a really fun thing to do, and most importantly for Lara Z to be able to shoot the concept ‘go fly a kite’ for her flickr images that you can see by clicking here. I advise you to go to Batroun before the summer is over, it’s a beautiful city. Oh and thank you all so much for the lovely suggestions you made last time about places to go in Lebanon.  I have to say I now have a long list, and will keep you all updated on the trips and adventures. Have a beautiful day! 🙂

    Well that’s the answer, I told you Maya…

    Very early in the morning, I wish your wish comes true in a way or another.

    Have a beautiful day!!

    Batroun is a very authentic city.. u should have passed by the old churches, the old bay…the night life..
    batroun festival was amazing ..i went to wael’s event..it was crazy..
    each July, Batroun celebrates a religious ceremony for the “mina wel siyédin” the prayers are done on the shore /open air and the church is transfered to a small “flouka” to pray for the fisherman.. the traditional standard of living of the batroun community..it’s so geniune!!
    i’m not from Batroun but i love their lifestyle..
    good luck Maya

    I didn’t know about the kites, but the historic square was something, my friend thought I was misleading him.
