Beautiful, can almost imagine the sweet and spicy smells !
Did you go to the soap museum perhaps ? And the chateau fort in the water ? We stopped in Sidon on the way down to Tyr. Have you been to Tyr already ? Well worth the visit, the hippodrome and roman cemetery adjacent to it are out of this world.
That's a weird contrast with the politics posters in the background. But the big ol' spice bags are the same all over this side of the Globe, no? I love them and the smell:)
I've been to those places, Owen, but it's been a few years. Last time I went to Tyre my kids were babies, and babies (bless them) are such a distraction.
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).
I love the displays of spices found in other countries.

I'll have to go back, camera in hand.
Nice photo --- now we just have to imagine the aroma and taste.
