Gorges was just beyond this scene.

This view looks northeast toward the harbor. We used this
hotel as our family's base while on vacation in Beirut. As a student,

were advantageously placed. So were the shoe shine boys. In this scene
a shoe shine boy orders from a vendor.

BD New Wing Room
The author and David Stone roomed together until Dave got
hepatitis and dropped out of school. Bob Lowenthal followed Dave. Through
the window can be seen a small building that ACS rented out. The wall
beyond separated ACS from Prep. Bernie Braun used to shoot lizards off
this wall with his pellet gun.
The Beirut Airport Terminal
For most American students from ARAMCO, this is where your
student life in Lebanon began. It it was a wonderful beginning as well.
