Last Friday we did a trip to the Bekaa-Valley, a beautiful area between the two mountain chains of Lebanon. First we visited Baalbeck, one of the best preserved Roman temples in the Middle East. The village is in an area which is today controlled by Hizbollah, so like in the South we drove by a lot of yellow flags and pictures of Hassan Nasrallah.
But once inside the archeological site we enjoyed the amazing ruins (with a lot of breaks in the shadow of the pillars due to the extreme heat...) and took many beautiful but not so serious pictures (good that the Romans didn't know about that...)
In order to relax after this exhausting day we visited the vineyard Ksara which was founded by Jesuite monks in the 19th century and had a taste of the delicious wines there.
