Today we all went on a roadtrip to the northern part of Lebanon to visit Tannous in his town Ehden! It took us only and hour and half each way. I expected the trip to take longer because Ehden is around 1500 meters over sea level.
On the way, we saw this castle that has been here since the Crusades!
I LOVED Tannous's family. His sister just had a baby girl (LEILA!) 2 weeks ago! He has 2 younger brothers, Wissam and Samer. His parents are the nicest and most generous people I have ever met! I can't wait to go visit them again!
Doggie at Tannous's!
We went hiking around the natural reserve of Ehden. It was around 600 km each way, and it took us a good 2 hours for the whole hike.
We stopped at this natural water fountain. We drank it's fresh COLD water and washed our hands and face.
Fresh peaches, plums, and cherries from Tannous's parent's garden!
After our hike, we went higher up in the mountain to visit these churches:
In the big church, they were preparing the decorations for a wedding that was about to take place. Aren't the decorations amazing? VERY CHIC!
Lastly, we went to a restaurant from a late lunch/dinner because we were STARVING. We ordered the usual: tabbouleh, fattoosh, hummus, baba ghannouj, french fries, labneh with toom, sheesh tawook, kafta, etc.
Rana jumping in :)
We all fell asleep on the ride home from our expanded stomachs. I am EXHAUSTED. I need to get some sleep. Rana and Jana are sleeping over because we want to go to the beaches in front of my house in the morning. I think we're meeting Tannous for lunch too!
