For those of you following my blog and the international news simultaneously, you may have wondered about my whereabouts/safety as Beirut is burning (turns out that many people were wrong in their belief that violence would wait until summer). I was in Beirut on Wednesday, but the quick escalation of tensions and military presence led to a game time decision not to spend Thursday on the Mediterranean, but instead flee the country Wednesday night. With Beirut waking to demarcation lines, burning tyres and roadblocks on Thursday morning, we made the right decision and are now safe in Damascus again, missing Lebanon and sending positive thoughts to all the wonderful people we met while there.
More detail on this adventure will be forthcoming. For now, just wanted you all to know that I am safe.
