Last weekend he invited us along as he took another American writer on a tour of the Bakaa valley. The valley is know as a Hezbollah stronghold and for producing enormous amounts of marijuana ("red leb") and heroin .... it is also an incredibly fertile valley filled with farms and wineries and was once considered a “bread basket” of the Roman empire.

Josh climbing “the largest quarried stone in the world” in the old Roman quarry
the ruins of the Baalbek temples
Hezbollah flags on the streets of Baalbek
Josh walking down the street in Baalbek
a horse farm, tucked in the fertile Bakaa valley, with the snowy hills that harbor Hezbollah training camps in the background
