Up in Mount Lebanon




On my last day in Lebanon we went on a hike/picnic up the mountain. We brought meat, bread, beer, arak, veggies, and all the material necessary for a bbq, set up next to a spring, and had a wonderful picnic. Ramzi and I hiked all the way up to where the spring starts and found fossils of sea creatures in the mountain! Huge shells stuck in the mountain!

I brought some fossils with me to my nephews and we talked about how shells can have ended up on the top of a mountain. I really love little T's response: "Oh, it's simple! A giant wave such as a Tsunami must have washed them up." So cute!!!
