why we...

...were told it would be a bad idea if we left our hotel room.  it was getting messy not very far away...what a great last day in Beyrouth.

The Monastery (Al Dier) - This sum bitch was about 4,000 steps up.  Not even shitten.  worth the walk though.

Petra Jordan.  This is where they filmed parts of Indiana Jones and the last crusade.  This is the beginning of the walk.  This building is called the Treasury -

MOARRR...Beirut

Flying in to Beirut..it looked as large as NYC...SICK!

View from our hotel...The Gefinor Rotana...Nice place..Big up to my man Youssef.  He kept me watered down.....here...

Most of you have seen this picture...my second favorite one i think.

And Club B 018.  Underground club...Then they just pop the roof if it gets to hot...or close it if bullets are flyin..

And just a building full of bullet holes next to an amazing Lebanese Restaurant.
The link below will give you an idea of how messed up it got here from one day to the next  :

Our Hotel was about 5 miles straight north of the pictures on the website...BUT...The Holiday Inn was a very important building was about 5 blocks from our hotel.

RPG and Bullet holes everywhere.  From what we heard also we should not have been taking pictures of this place. 

You can see the Holiday Inn from our hotel as well.  Under large crane just to the right of the tallest building.

MOAR Tunisia

Where we stayed the first 2 nights.  Worst bed ever.

Our first class view!  There is a club down there that says Gentlemen Club.  Never really seen anyone walk in or our but it was loud as hell at night and strippers aint exactly tolerated in this gem of a city.

Roman ruins in Carthage which is about 30 kl maybe North of Tunis.  Beard was kickin at this point! Carthage seemed to be a town where they built large ships.  The next picture will show you where they launched them...

If you can see the close canal (not the large bay in the background) that used to be a fort of some kind to build and launch ships.

The Cafe....

The View....And....

MOARRR

Pretty sure I sat next to this dude at a pub in Amsterdam..no shit..

 Typical street in the evening (didnt get dark till like 11pm and light at 3am) in Amsterdam.  I think that is the Homomonument in the back ground.  It's a real place.

 Typical Amsterdam street...There are quite a few canals that run like an octagon around the city.
