Tyre part 2




I was very relieved to see that Tyre itself was not as damaged as I had feared. There has already been a big effort to clear away alot and some places where there had been buildings brought down have already been bulldozed and are just neat piles of rubble now. Isn't that sad? It was great to see some of the staff at school. They were a bit surprised to see me still here, but I think it made an impression that we had stayed. Lou and I enjoyed a walk along the corniche this morning with the girls and it was lovely just being back there. I felt I just needed to see for myself how things really were and to take on, or own, some of what has happened. These photo's are all of the road home, the road that we should have been driving on to get back to Beirut. As you can imagine it will take time and money to get this all sorted. I am hoping to start going back every week when school starts, but we will have to see how it works out time wise on the road.

Great to hear Lindy that you were able to get down to Tyre. It is always much better to see things for yourself. Thanks for the photos, they give some idea of the massive rebuilding program needed.

Mum here! Dad has gone to training.
Had a lovely night out at Tiffins on the Park. Agreat day at the show with Aunty Kaye, also to West Beach church in the morning. A lovely meal for Father's Day with family at Hoggie's last night. Home safe this afternoon. Jeanie is fine after another physio session this morning (Glenys took her.)
Thanks for the Tyre update. Agree with earlier comments. Also read the Email this evening. Know of even more who are praying with and for you all.
God bless.
