The local Holiday Inn took a few hits during the last skirmish.
More visible damage.
The entrance to the Hard Rock Cafe. Notice the sign on the door "Top of the Rock April 2007" which signified highest gross sales in the corporation for that month.
Customers are not currently flocking to the place in June. I don't think they will make "Top of the Rock" this month.
Outside of the Hard Rock. Barricades in the street prevented vehicles from getting too close.
Local fishermen in Beirut.
Traveling through Lebanon you run into many checkpoints.
A bedouin camp along the way.
The ruins at Baalbek were some of the best we encountered. They were enormous. Visiting the Kasara Winery. Normal life attempts to go on in a war zone.
