A definite tourist day...

We drove a couple hours to Tyre, and the agenda had been:

1. Do a little shopping
2. Go to the ruins
3. Go to lunch at the beach
4. Hang out at the beach
5. Drive back to Beirut
6. Go to dinner at a nice restaurant on the water

Well, traffic was really bad and we had a hard time finding parking, so by the time we finished shopping in Tyre it was pretty late.  So we thought we’d reverse the order, do #3 and #4, then #2, and then #5 and #6.  Long story short, we ended up skipping the ruins (#2) entirely.  Well, we did drive by them when we first arrived in Tyre – so we saw some of them but just didn’t visit them.  The good news is that everyone on the team is so flexible there wasn’t a complaint to be had, and we all had a great time getting some team bonding time in!  I’m posting some pictures I took, and I think they’re self-explanatory.  I just wanted to point out that the picture of Nicholas with Nathan right outside the restaurant in Beirut shows Nicholas with a shirt he bought in Tyre – I thought it was a pretty good choice!
