This card has never been posted, but I would guess that it dates from the late 1970s.
Greetings from Beirut.
Beirut used to be a very popular holiday destination, but with the turmoil in the Middle East, this is no longer the case. It had a reputation of being the crossroads of three continents, and often referred to as the "paris of the East". The beaches and waterfront were being rediscovered until the latest bombardment causing a major oil spill.
It is so sad that war and terrorism wreak havoc with lives and, often, lovely destinations such as these. I wish our world were not so!
ReplyDeleteSuch a dreadful shame, isn't it.
