Of course, she is saying this whilst appreciating the stunning beauty of Atlantic Canada\u2019s beaches\u2026 and yes, she may be a bit biased here. After all, the Mediterranean sea is not only in her soul, so t<em>o <\/em>speak, but also in her genes and\u2026 on her plate too (thanks to Talented Chef Luigi ?)! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OK, enough of philosophy. Here are the pictures. See for yourself! Maybe you can help in objectively answering the question in the title of this post?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/RoulaCampus1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-329\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/RoulaCampus1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/RoulaCampus1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/RoulaCampus1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/RoulaCampus1-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/RoulaCampus1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption>Picture # 1 taken by Roula Azar-Douglas, <em>Facult\u00e9 des Lettres et des Sciences Humaines<\/em>, <em>Universit\u00e9 Libanaise     <\/em> (the Lebanese University, Tripoli campus)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/RoulaCampus2-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-331\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/RoulaCampus2-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/RoulaCampus2-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/RoulaCampus2-1.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>Picture # 2 taken by Roula Azar-Douglas, <em>Facult\u00e9 des Lettres et des Sciences Humaines<\/em>, <em>Universit\u00e9 Libanaise<\/em>      (The Lebanese University in Tripoli)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"http:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Roula_Sunset-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Roula_Sunset-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Roula_Sunset-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Roula_Sunset-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Roula_Sunset-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Roula_Sunset.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption>Picture # 3 taken by Roula Azar-Douglas from her balcony (Baabda\/Beirut, Lebanon)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope you have enjoyed this post.
