Libya Photos

I forgot I hadn't put up our photos from Libya...oops!

No better way to kick off the photos, than one of the man himself - Muammar Al Qathafi - "Guide of the First of September Great Revolution of the Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya". Now that is a title.

Here we are with our hosts, MML - enjoying a picnic in the parking lot of a very nice mosque.

On top floor of MML's house, they have a great patio. Here the girls are demonstrating their fabulous artistic talents with sidewalk chalk. Lucy couldn't get the chalk out of the two big girls hands!

Here is our Sherpa for our Libyan adventure.

In Libya they will open a restaurant for several Canadians, some of whom speak Arabic...one of the neatest places I have eaten. The restaurant is in a series of caves.

Spectacular ruins on the edge of the Mediterranean at L'Atrun. They weren't open when we stopped by, but we boosted everyone up to get a look. We contemplated jumping the fence, but being renegade outlaws in the country already, we thought better not press our luck.

Cyrene was founded in 631 BC by the Greeks. Here is the spectacular theatre, that held up to 1,000 people. The Romans converted it into an amphitheatre in 2 AD.

And some columns at Cyrene.


This is the lobby of our hotel in Tripoli - Zumit Hotel. The mosaic depicts the camel caravans arriving at the hotel, as they did not too long ago.


Here we are at the Tripoli "Starbucks" - no Chai Latte here though...
