Arriving in Lebanon during the War

I left Syria for Lebanon today. At the border I had to get out of the taxi and drag my luggage down a 6 foot deep hole in the road and then take a new taxi to the Lebanese border control. My friend Jad was waiting for me on the other side all freaked out because I was 30 minutes late. We could not go down the main road since the Israeli's bombed it so we went through villages, but still made it to Zahle in 20 minutes. In the end Jad and I went for drinks at a local bar (yes, that is Absent, and yeah, I look a bit rough, so would you if you had the day I had!)
