Come to Lebanon…

Come to Lebanon–well, if you’re British (but really, anyone’s welcome!). Britain has just announced that they are easing their travel warning to Lebanon, and no longer advising against non-essential travel to Lebanon to enjoy the country’s marvelous ancient ruins, crumbling Crusader castles, churches of all denominations, Ottoman mosques, restored Sufi shrines, and laid back Mediterranean lifestyle. Now that we in Lebanon don’t have to worry about the repercussions of a potential Western strike against Syria and Bashar al-Assad, the festive party mood has returned–and perhaps some tourists–and you–will too.
