I'd love to come visit...don't see a transatlantic trip in the cards for a while, though. BEY has scenery, history, good food, beaches...

I read in the NYT awhile back about the Arak industry coming back, and some world-class products being produced.

How has the USD held up? Does the Lebanese (franc?) track the Dollar or the Euro? Are people experiencing economic hardship as the Syrians lose influence and pull back?
