Very lovely. Wish I could fly over it in a helicopter. So what are those trees in the second photo? I thought it was a type of cedar (though not the Cedar of Lebanon) but I don't think that's right anymore.
Fun fact: If you google Btekhnay (even if you spell it wrong) a bunch of references to Aboulhosns come up.

A)Those are pine trees. They trim them high so as to get a good yield of pine nuts.
ReplyDeleteB)Almost no one but Aboulhosns live in Btekhnay.
I wish I were on my way to Jeita Grotto. That looks nice.
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful - reminds me a lot of Italy. I hope to see it firsthand one day!
