Cats are everywhere here.
 |
| ACS Kitty - We call her "Spot" |
 |
| Spot is smart, in the winter she sleeps outside the library on these boxes where she can look out the window. |
 |
| Two more ACS Kitties |
 |
| This is the road between the American University and our school. Daily, a woman comes and feeds the kitties |
 |
| Here is another day when they are waiting.... |
 |
| Honest, this one is just sleeping. I woke it up to make sure |
 |
| Around the corner on the Corniche, this could be the toughest cat in Beirut. Just getting some sun. |
 |
| Breakfast on the Corniche |
 |
| This little sweetie was sleeping too |
 |
| Around the corner from our building.... |
 |
| This one was downtown where someone feeds it daily on their motorcycle |
 |
| And at the plant nursery just outside of Beirut |
 |
| This is a cat that lives on the stairs next to our building. We have named her "Phil's Cat" because she used to sleep on his scooter. Everyone takes care of her. She keeps the bugs and mice away. |
 |
| And of course, we cannot forget our own Beiruti kitty, Kousa |
 |
| And her sister, Hadiyeh |
Some street art and graffiti. The Lebanese are really talented! I am always looking for good art while walking
 |
| One of my favorites |
 |
| This one and the one below are on the wall that the Israelis built between them and Lebanon. |
 |
| A work in progress |
 |
| In Bourj Hammoud, the Armenian Neighborhood |
 |
| Up near Hamra |
 |
| Around the corner from our place. |
 |
| An oldie but goodie. |
 |
| On Hamra, a little different but I like it |
 |
| Found this one in an alley off of Hamra |
 |
| Hard to get a picture of this one because there is always a car parked in front of it on the sidewalk |
 |
| Quite the statement |
 |
| I really think this one is thought provoking |
Next door to us is the American University at Beirut. A beautiful campus. I figured I would share a few pictures from this lovely place. Sorry it's been so long since a post.
 |
| Preparing for AUB graduation |
 |
| The Chapel where our school's graduation will be |
 |
| Inside the Chapel |
 |
| The view from where the orchestra sits for graduation |
 |
| What they call the Medical Gate, just past is the American University Hospital Complex |
 |
| In front of the Medical Gate. I love this tree! |
Here are some random pictures of Beirut and Lebanon from this past year.
 |
| Our commute to school |
 |
| A lovely church |
 |
| A view from the library where I work/teach |
Hopefully, we will have more time to post next year. This year has been a busy one.
