Today we took the teleferique to go to Harissa, the city of Lady Lebanon (Virgin Mary). Basically, it's like a ski-lift from the beach all the way to the top of the mountain.
This is the view from the shore. The teleferique goes all the way up to the tip of the mountain.
Inside waiting for our "car".
Almost halfway up.
I love the background! AND MARC!
This was one of the churches.
View from the top!
Lady Lebanon. Most sacred church. You can walk all the way around the stairs to Virgin Mary and pray silently.

ME!!!!!
I have more pictures, but the internet sucks. It's taking too long to load.
I also met Tannous in Jbeil (Byblos). He showed me around his undergrad university Lebanese American University (LAU). Joseph, Bassam, and Salam went there too. It is the most expensive university in Lebanon. There are only 2000 students who go there. The campus is really pretty, very Lebanese style, and very GREEN. It's not too big like VT, and not too small. It was graduation night tonight and I got to see some of the students and meet some professors. The girls dress like they're going to the club. Their faces are painted with makeup, high heels, short dresses. Definitely not used to it since VT girls wear pjs and sweatpants to class. I also met some engineering professors who used to be HOKIES!
