Field Trip to Baalbaak


Field Trip to Baalbaak

I led a very unorganized field trip to Baalbaak in May. It was crazy--5th and 6th graders instantly spread like cockroaches amongst the ruins, jumping off the ancient rocks. It's amazing no one got hurt. Just getting them to gather for this picture almost made a blood vessel explode in my head.

They've been bombing Baalbaak a lot. I heard rumors they got some of the Roman temples.

There were still so many things I hadn't seen yet in Lebanon--Tyre, the old souk in Saida, Sid Qaraoun, the wineries in the Bekaa.
