There is much I would like to share today, the internet connection has been dreadful all day. Apologies in advance–I’m trying to find a way around being prevented from uploading photos, but the system seems jammed. In the meantime, thank you for your patience and understanding. I guess this is just one of the many daily challenges of living in a developing country–which has been ranked as having the slowest internet connection in the world–behind Zambia, Vanuatu, Iraq and Afghanistan. Though Lebanon recently jumped several spots in the rankings, it’s still at the bottom of the heap–and the connection remains unbearably slow. It’s a wonder that we get anything done. Since I’m unable to work online right now, I guess I’ll just have to go and swim with the turtles, and re-“connect” with nature instead…
