Patrick & Keith Wheeler visit Lebanon (with Amsterdam stopovers)

September 9-19, 2002

Father & son had a wonderful visit and returned with many fond memories and many, many digital photos.  They returned to a busy schedule that is interfering with their plans to build a web site worthy of their wonderful Lebanese experience.  This will have to wait a few more days.  In the meantime, here are some rather hastily written e-mails sent home to family & friends. Remember that these were usually written at an internet cafe late at night after a long and busy day. We have included here just a few of the hundreds of photos taken. A more detailed write-up, including our reason for going as well as our impressions, will come later. We will also build several more photo albums for those interested in the various aspects of our visit.
