We arrived exhausted, but excited to visit our new school and find our beds! The arrival in Beirut was stunning; the city laid out below us like a sparkling, vibrant jewel. Fr. Johnny and Fr. Andre met us at the airport. Traveling through the city at night, Fr. Johnny and Fr. Andre pointed out the Hezbollah and Christian sectors. We were waived through a check point by some bored looking military, and then climbed above the city to the school. The monastary, just a short walk from the school, sits atop a rise above Beirut, and the view is nothing short of spectacular.
