It’s been a couple weeks since I had the time to write a new entry. We’ve been quite busy on this side of the ocean, what with preparing for and meeting with the regional representative from the U.S. Department of State, then another 60 kilometer bike ride over the weekend, in training for the upcoming Dead to Red relay, and then finally this past Sunday, a visit to a church in Ashrafieh, a traditional East Orthodox service that worships half in Arabic and half in old Aramaic.
