Basking in the stoic beauty of a besieged city, I behold Beirut, beset for centuries by Caliphs & Crusaders, a crossroads for traders, a sublime coastline & layered state of mind where cultures combine & blend, where faiths intertwine & languages bend, out where the Mediterranean ultimately ends... Amidst crescents & crosses, I placate my bosses by typing their screeds, catering to my company's every need, while staring west past the waters as the sunset recedes...

The Penthouse
Wow. So normally for these meetings we spend four days stuck in a generic hotel meeting room or crammed into the agency's largest conference room. The folks from LB/Beirut decided to do things differently and booked us for 5 days in the Phoenicia's lavish penthouse suite, a gorgeous duplex equipped with a beautiful spiral staircase, a balcony to die for, and a killer view out over the Mediterranean. To the left is a picture of Bechara & Areej on the stairs, and below is a panoramic view from the deck just outside our meeting room. I am thankful to not be stuck in a droll generic hotel ballroom for 40 hours. This penthouse is gorgeous, and I hope to savor the view in between sessions...
