LEBANON

Faraya and Cedars-LEBANON: A STORY OF POWDER AND PEOPLE-Lebanon is a tiny country in which you can get almost anywhere in two hours or less. In one day, one can ski above 2500 meters, swim in the Mediterranean, enjoy sightseeing in the oldest city in the world, and still have the time, if not the energy, for a night in the casino. Our visit to this fascinating country was full of surprises. The skiing was of international quality, and it snowed almost nonstop during our ten-day stay in late march. The scenery was more beautiful than I could have imagined, and the archeological sites of Byblos and Baalbek are some of the most impressive in the world. Perhaps best of all was the warm hospitality of the people, which, I am sure, will put Lebanon back on the tourist map as soon as the world realizes that the long war that ravaged the country for so many years is a thing of the past.
