By Tom Saadi - On Thursday Aug. 22, I returned from an amazing trip to
Lebanon with my son Jacob and my sister Ann Marie. I had not been to
Lebanon in 15 years, my sister in 20 years and this was Jacob's first trip to the
land of his grandfather's birth. From the moment we landed in Beirut until the
4am trip back to the Airport 10 days later it was nonstop visits with family,
touring the country and, of course a few days at the beach. The first couple of
days we walked the entire village where my father was born and visited with
family. Jacob was amazed that we could pick figs, almonds, pomegranate and St. George Orthodox Antiochian Church
apples as we walked. We toured the Jeita Grotto which is an unbelievable site 125 Kohanza Street, Danbury, CT
with massive stalagmites in a 9-kilometer-long interconnected cave complex
(the largest in the Middle East). Later that day we took the cable cars to Join us for our famous Kibbee Dinner;
Harissa. My son loves history as I do so we could not pass up a visit to the Saturday, September 21th at 7 pm
Phonetician, Roman and Crusader ruins and castle in Byblos (the oldest
continuously inhabited city in the world) and then we shopped in the Old Souk Kibbee (Nayeh & Baked), Rice & Green Beans, Garden Salad,
(Market) haggling with vendors to get the best price on souvenirs. After a day Coffee & Dessert
of rest in the village our journey took us to the spectacular Roman ruins of
Baalbek (Heliopolis in Roman times) in the Bekaa Valley and the following Donation $35 Per person, Kids under 10 FREE! Cash Bar
day to the Cedar of Lebanon. To book a large group,
While we enjoyed seeing the sites it was the connection with family that please call Nidal Khoury 203-512-9179
warmed our hearts with love each day. Their love and affection were unending
and for my son it was an experience of a life time. I often became emotional
watching him as it reminded me of when I was his age in Lebanon. And, while
many physical changes and updates have taken place in the "Old Country" the
essence of Lebanon and what it means to Lebanese has not, to quote my son:
"Dad, Lebanon is beautiful, and the Lebanese are such a loving people."
Lebanon is in our hearts more now than before we made the trip and we look
forward to going back soon. Below is a family photo taken at the Cedars. St. Ann Church Annual Hafli
