The Weather is here....

The school decided to plan a trip for anyone who was interested to go north of Byblos to resort called the Batroun Village Club. Since Delaney has been on the swim team Janna has been dying to swim and when we heard they had a swimming pool we signed up. What a great opportunity to just relax in the sun!

Above, is the view from the pool. Yes, it was what the Lebanese would call a cloudy day but being from where we are from, no worries! We got there around 10:30 and were hungry so we decided to have a traditional Lebanese breakfast with our friends, Dillon and Brittany.

Notice that yes, I once again found the awesome coffee!! This breakfast consisted of boiled and fried eggs, arabic flatbread, very salty goat feta cheese, a white cheese of some sorts, cucumbers, tomatoes, olives some sort of bologna type meat (some of it had green olives) and labneh (a cross between yogurt and sour cream I'd say), this bean stuff that you put on the bread with all the veggies and labneh that's really yummy, chocolate croissants, and these cookies with mashed turkish delight in between them that honestly weren't too tasty. We all ate well and were totally stuffed. Then it was off to the pool!

Yes, it was windy but it was still around 80 - 85 degrees out. We almost had the pool to ourselves! Here's Janna looking really happy to be swimming.

If you look carefully, Delaney is swimming as well.

After swimming, I found Tim just lounging by the pool. What a relaxing day!

There were also some really fast lizards running around. If you look carefully, you can see one on the step. Janna was really excited to see so many of them. (This picture is for our friends in Saudi!)

Here is a video of the area we were in. You can see Batroun below.

We had a really relaxing and great time!
