Who knew!?

I knew there would be many suprises as I traveled back to Lebanon, but I never expected to catch a cold here!  It seems very odd to have a cough and runny nose in Lebanon's sunny dry weather, yet 4 people in our group have colds, sore throat and all.  We brought a provisional amount of Dayquil and Nightquil, which we officailly used up today.  Guess we'll have to make our inaugural run to the pharmacy this afternoon. 

All-in-all we are a sad group of 9, consisiting of 4 colds, a sinus infection, one case of bronchitis, a broken toe, and a bum knee.  Despite the infirmities we are all in good spirits, content to be in Lebanon and excited to be experiencing a new culture and making new friends.  So glad to be traveling with people who won't let a little ailment stand between them and the middle East!
