online again…

The first night of fighting also had a huge thunderstorm roll in and knock out our wifi. As of today it is back on. Thanks to everyone who sent emails which I was able to check and quickly respond to at a place that had a connection.

We are safe, although our safety was never at any time an issue – as long as we didn’t go looking for the gunfighting. Its just the boredom of being cooped up waiting things out. The fighting in Beirut has calmed down and roadblocks are slowly being removed. There is still news of fighting in  Tripoli, Sidon and the Bekka Valley last I heard. On a mini break from news. The horrors of Burma and China made the horrors here pale in comparison. Cant really wrap my brain around the numbers of dead being reported in both places, and I certainly cant stomach any news of Georgie in Israel to help raise the roof over 60 years of apartheid.
