Tripoli
12 december 2019, Libanon ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
Visite rapide de Batroun où on sirote une limonade (spécialité du coin) tout en cherchant le théâtre romain. Ah ben tiens il est là, dans le jardin du studio photo. Arrivée à Tripoli et visite sous la pluie. On cherche à débusquer les mosquées dans le dédale de ruelles de la vieille ville mais elles sont fermées en dehors des heures de prière, sauf la jolie mosquée Taynal. Un seul autre touriste, croisé à la citadelle de Raymond de Saint Gilles. Passage au Hammam Ezzedine aux belles couleurs pastel. Découverte du malfoof, chou farci avec du riz et de la viande. Ça cale! Mais on passe quand même chez Choco Sweet faire le plein de 🍫🍫🍫Meer informatie

Bcharré
13 december 2019, Libanon ⋅ ⛅ 9 °C
Arrivée à Bcharré, toujours sous la pluie. On rentre se réchauffer dans un resto où on tombe sur des gens du coin qui nous invitent à partager un verre d'arak. Ça tombe à pic ! En ce moment c'est dur pour les hôtels et les restos, ils n'ont quasiment pas de clients et pas de réservations pour la période des fêtes à cause de la révolution.

Visite du Musée Gibran, où nous découvrons les peintures et dessins de celui qu'on connaissait surtout comme auteur. Des brouillons en anglais, français, arabe côtoient quelques objets personnels et une belle bibliothèque. Soirée arak 😯Meer informatie

Monastery of St. Maroun Annaya
2 december 2021, Libanon ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C
This is another Lebanese Maronite monastery whose claim to fame is that it is the spiritual and physical home of St. Charbel, one of the 3 native Lebanese saints. There is a 4th who is being condidered for sainthood. st Charbel is known for his miracles, especially healings. He is highly popular here, not just among Maronites Christians.
The monastery was started in 1828, the year of St Charbel's birth. He walked here from his home and never left, except to study and, ultimately, to become a hermit in the caves nearby. His tomb is in the monastery and is a place of pilgrimage.
The 1st picture is the front of the monastery. The 2nd picture is St. Charbel's tomb. It is in its own small chapel. That is his coffin on the he center, and that is his well known picture above.
The 3rd picture is in the courtyard or cloister, off which is St. Charbel's tomb.
The last picture is in the monastery church during mass being celebrated by the monks and priests of the monastery.Meer informatie

Baatara Gorge
2 december 2021, Libanon ⋅ ☀️ 9 °C
Baatara gorge is a 240 meter deep sinkhole in Mount Lebanon that has become known for a couple reasons. During the spring runoff, I'm told, there is a 100 meter high waterfall into the gorge. I'm here at the wrong time of the year for that.
The other is that the formation looks like 3 bridges are stacked one above the other. Together with the surrounding scenery, this has become a local recreational area.
The 1st 2 pictures look down into the sinkhole. Sadly, the sun is in the wrong position for good photos. The 1st picture is taken from the terrace near the top of the gorge, and the 2nd is taken from about half the depth of the gorge at the point where trail access ends and the walls become near vertical.
The other 2 pictures are in the gorge, looking at the immediate scenery.Meer informatie

St. Anthony of Kozhaya Monastery
1 december 2021, Libanon ⋅ 🌧 6 °C
I had the privilege of staying here. This is a Maronite monastery. It is named for St. Anthony of Egypt (see other posts), the father of monasticism. This monastery was founded in the 18th century. And this the mother house of the Lebanese Maronites.
The 1st picture is a statue of St. Anthony outside a cave. The 2nd picture is St. Anthony's cave, now a small chapel. The 3rd picture is also in St. Anthony's cave. These are slave irons hanging beging the altar. I'm told they would use them to shackle wildly out of control people (believed at the time to be out of their minds, mentally ill, etc. The priest would pray until the subject was "cured," at which point the chains were removed. He was thus set free from slavery to his or her illness.
The 4th picture is the facade built over the front of the cave holding the church. The 5th picture is the the nave of the church. The last picture is their nativity scene in a small side cave that acts like a large niche or small side chapel. I particularly like the image of the scene in a cave.Meer informatie

Musem of Khalil Gibran
1 december 2021, Libanon ⋅ 🌧 4 °C
I only know Gibran for The Prophet, his most famous work. It turns out he was far more prolific than that. In fact he was an artist. Most of the museum is the originals of his painting. They are quite stunning and surprising. His work can be googled. So I won't belabor it here. I encourage you to look. His work includes his own illustrations that he prepared for The Prophet. I don't recall seeing them in any edition I've looked at. Just seeing those is well worth the time. (NB, photography wasn't allowed).
The museum is in a former Carmelite Monastery in Gibran's home town. This is the view of the building from across the road.
Gibran's will said that he wanted this monastery purchased so that he could be buried in his home town. The only part of the museum allowing photography is the tomb. The 2nd picture has his coffin behind glass. The rest of the pictures are of the remainder of the room. No explanation was given. So I simply surmise that these are his things, much like ancient burials interred some of the deceased's possessions.Meer informatie

Baatara gorge waterfall
10 juni 2023, Libanon ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
Easy hike with the possibility to use a cable car to go up and down the hill. The waterfall is quite unique. It's about 45 minute drive from Batoung in a steep and curvy road with amazing views.
