The Last of Lebanon

In this post, the third of three on Lebanon, I show some lovely pictures of Byblos lanes, and visit the President's summer palace Beiteddine and the Silk Museum at Bsous. We go to Deir El-Qamar, a lovely town with a dark secret, which leads me on to discuss the origins of French intervention and colonialism in Lebanon. Then the scene shifts to Qana, which may or may not be the Biblical Cana, where Jesus is said to have turned water into wine. Finally, I muse upon transitoriness in Tyre.
