Nasty mean mosquitoes, gorgeous pink sunsets, chaotic driving, mouth watering food, wicked stomach aches, truly organic fruits and veggies without the need of an organic label, cool oxygenated air, overwhelming family love, new Arabic words, internet and cell phone withdrawals, frequent power outages, and obnoxious yet soothing Muslim prayer chants on the village loudspeakers.
My first couple of days have been pretty amazing here in Lebanon. The entire family is coming in to celebrate my cousin Adham’s wedding. This will be one of the biggest weddings in our family as there were be four separate celebrations with over 1,000 people in attendance.The tension with Syria is really starting to heat up so we are hoping that this won’t mess with the wedding.
I will be putting together a percussion group here in Lebanon to perform at the wedding and we will be going by the name “Dirbeki Trix.” More to come!
