Thank you, thank you, thank you [personal profile] asakiyume  for the awesome jaguar postcard and the beautifully evocative letter about your trip.  I felt like a part of me was there with you. <3

...and voilà feet in flipflops here in Lebanon. [personal profile] asakiyume  will understand why.
 
A little factoid, apropos of flipflops in Lebanon and the way people view others:  I can wear flipflops and not be judged because I am white.  My Haitian American friend, S, will not wear flipflops in public because many Lebanese treat her like she is "help" because of her skin color (and flipflops are supposedly poor people's shoes).  A very unpleasant side to life in Lebanon is the live-in help culture.  Some day I will try to take a photo of the "maid's room" in our flat and talk about this, to me, shameful part of how the 'rich' live here.  But this is a happy post and not the place for it.
