Beautiful hike in the southeastern Lebanon mountains, from Niha to Jezzine.
We hiked up to a Druze shrine.
Each color of the star has meaning--we have heard various explanations, e.g. green for plants and blue for sky, but also green for mental power and blue for the will.
Amazing rocks!

And after, a visit to an ancient ruined mountain fortress. Below is Kristina, gazing at the view.
There were two guides on the trip, one Druze and one Maronite. We overheard them talking about the political situation and someone asked them what the thought would happen. They looked at each otehr for a moment, smiled, and said "War." Groans from us. "It's what we do."
