Awesome Dining

Alrighty,
So tomorrow I am going to a Lebanese beach party...should be interesting, Ill do my best to get as many photos as I can! But for now I just wanted to tell you all about the lavish lunches I have been having. The Lebanese food here is incredible! I eat lots of hummus, barbecued cheese, tabouli, which is like pico de gallo but with more greens, and pita bread. What I think is funny is the bottled water. You are not automatically given water, you have to buy bottles of water. And when it is brought to your table they present it to you like a bottle of wine. Like I am supposed to check the lable to see if it's a good year or something, IT'S WATER! They also pull the chairs out for you and place napkins on your lap. And these are at the average restaurants. My absolute favorite part is the hot towels. Yes, they bring you hot towels before you eat so you cant wash up. And these aren't the thin tiny towels like on airplanes. They are even scented with a nice perfume. SO COOL! And at the end of every meal it is customary to have tea or coffee. A lot of people drink Turkish coffee, but I was spoiled with my awesome Turkish roomate, Ayse in college, and no one makes Turkish coffee better then a Turk! So I go for the French coffee myself. Anyway, Ill be in touch after my beach party. Take care!
