How could they not  appreciate them when they are blessed to have the Mediterranean Sea to the west of their tiny country?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mind you, the residents in the mountains of Lebanon, located in east side of the country, also appreciate their beautiful morning sunrises as well as their dawn and dusk times.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well today Bambi learned that even European tourists learn to appreciate the fabulous shades of sunsets, as you can see through this post :).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before sharing Laila&#8217;s two beautiful pictures, Bambi would like to thank you Rana for having made both Laila and her discover the Batroun region from the coast up to the mountains with its superb landscapes (a piece of heaven!), delicious fruits, and welcoming people. What a memorable day\/night that could have been entitled &#8220;<em>Cousins&#8217; adventures while touring Lebanon<\/em>&#8221; :). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are definitely a VERY talented tourist guide, Rana. The best in Lebanon! You happen to also be a wonderful woman as well as a generous human being. In the near future, Bambi will take the time to share your pictures and video of sunsets facing the Chekka Bay. As you know, the latter is dear to her heart. Indeed, it is filled with our fun beach memories during older trips to Lebanon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for you Laila, what can Bambi say about you? You are beautiful inside and out. You are smart yet humble and SO sweet. Your wisdom is inspiring and Bambi will repeat that it was an honour and a pleasure to be your roommate. Thank you for being you and thanks to our dear hosts \ud83d\ude42  \u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To conclude this post, Bambi will add the following: she loves you, Rana and Laila. She is blessed to call you both her cousins \u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f. To try to make you smile, she will end by offering you the same French kids&#8217; song she once surprised her other beloved cousin &#8220;Coco&#8221; [Christiane \ud83d\ude42  \u2764\ufe0f] with on her birthday! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Laila3-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20803\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Laila3-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Laila3-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Laila3-1200x1600.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Laila3.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>A picture taken by Laila in Batroun, Lebanon.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Laila4-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20805\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Laila4-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Laila4-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Laila4-1200x1600.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Laila4.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption> A picture taken by Laila in Batroun, Lebanon. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Chantal Goya &quot;B\u00e9cassine&quot; | Archive INA\" width=\"840\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HC-sJ1TDZRg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen title=\"Chantal Goya \"B\u00e9cassine\" | Archive INA\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/heart.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20806\" width=\"179\" height=\"179\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/heart.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/heart-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 179px) 85vw, 179px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One thing Bambi learned from a recent trip to the Middle East is the following double fact: (1) Lebanon is in a state of a heart-breaking human tragedy; and (2) Lebanese people seem to want [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20790"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20790"}],"version-history":[{"count":20,"href":"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20790\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20816,"href":"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20790\/revisions\/20816"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20790"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20790"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20790"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
