    1. We hope our friend Dab is ok. 🙁
    2. It seems they don’t like Chicken Restaurants here or in Tripoli.
    3. This is nowhere near the Blue-Line and Israelis with microphones. Who imagines a ‘spectre’??
    4. I will not be visiting Dab’s veranda this year – even with the promise of girls. 🙁
    5. Apparently the Red Cross can operate here. We wait for the videos. 😉
    6. Hope our friend Dab is ok.

        Geo … an old one. But we haven’t heard from Dab yet … although I don’t see a veranda to party on in the pics here. He may be helping with clean-up.
        Time winds down for friends in Tripoli … also … and I would love to visit them too.
        Dab, in his environment may feel secure, and you and I with him … and I have skirted around these little disasters before … but how many chances do any of us get? 😉
        Maybe we should all meet in Cyprus. Good beaches there ….. 😉 We’ll chip in for the boat-ride for the girls, and try to sneak past Syria … scotch intact. :-))
        I consider reality.
        As I heard a travel-agent say today: ‘If you’re having a vacation, why go to place that only fills you with angst and puts your nerves on edge?’
