The New York Times Travel section just ran a glowing story about Belgrade called “Belgrade Rocks“. Belgrade was one of 3 other cities we considered moving besides Beirut, and I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn’t been. After you come see us in Lebanon, of course.

And in the same travel section, there is an article on vineyards in Lebanon. The wine is fantastic here- I have even started drinking white wine.

UPDATE: It was just pointed out to me that the guy who wrote the article about Lebanese wines is someone who we actually “know”, an American who is well known around town for his love of rosé.
