I can't tell you how excited I am. I just got a package from USPS with a map in it! I was not expecting it at all, and I must say the map is beauuutiful. It's larger than I thought and I've been "travelling" through it for the past hour, going from one village to another and remembering all the good moments spent there among majestic sites or in front of breathtaking views.





The first picture shows where I spent last summer, Broummana, and where many Lebanese (including my parents) are currently "hiding" away from the bombing (www.theFlowerCity.com, slow). The second picture shows the highest peak, Qornet Es-Saouda meaning "the black corner", at 3,088 meters (approx 9,000 ft). Back in the scouting days, in 1997, Pierre and I had to walk all the way up there from the Bekaa plain (east). Priceless.

It is indeed a great piece of art, beautifully done, and I recommend it to anyone.
Thank you Jeremy, and thanks to all the team for the great work.
