While we were in Sidon we climbed to the top of the Sea Castle. It's a crusader ruin, situated on a small island just off shore. It is so lovely, a perfect spot to go exploring with the kids.
This is the kind of place that I would have loved to explore as a kid. I'm suprised that you are allowed to climb all over it. Maybe there are signs all over it saying climb at your own risk? :) Great picture!
Everybody's looking for something. Mary Ann is looking for the real Beirut, whatever that means. These are the photos she takes along the way.
You can browse around the archives here or check out her other blogs. There's one from a few years ago, back when she blogged about art. And then there's another from '09 when she lived in St. Louis (USA).
Looks kinda surreal with that backdrop!
ReplyDeleteVery cool - quite a contrast to the modern buildings in the background!

ReplyDeleteLovely opportunity to bring the past to life for your children, although Beirut itself might be the example par excellence for that.
