In mid-october, I went to Amchit on a sunday afternoon. The view was magnificent down from a rock in the sea.

Huguette Caland "Mes jeunes années"

Fun at Tyre

At Tyre, between the charm of old souks the cuteness of old ladies (that generously taught me how to cook a Kebbit Samak, Syadyeh Hamra, Mecheh w Djej and Zlebyeh for the Eid), it was some fun relaxing days, (even thought we were supposed to sketch and draw). We couldn't help but enjoy the city, the breath taking ruins, and the dream like sea, where Nouda had a blast.
