Today I went to Beirut, something that happens very rarely. There was a mass in memory of my maternal grandfather who sadly left us five years ago. And then we spent the day with my grandmother. So I took my video from our house, in Achrafieh, Beirut.
The horrible sound (I don't know if you can hear it) is that of a drone that for two hours constantly hovered over the capital. I, in the past, during the war, always avoided to do my videos when there was the sound of airplanes. But this time, it was impossible to avoid the drone, as it was constantly there, and it seems that it is there every day. It does nothing, except monitoring.
Peace does not happen in one day. We are in a transition toward a more sustainable peace. And also, regionally, I believe that we will also witness a transition toward peace.
Life was completely normal in Beirut today. People just got used to the drone sound (something I personally am not used to), ignoring it, or joking about it.
I personally do not enjoy much large towns, and prefer the countryside. But it was also essential to see my grandmother and the rest of my family... The weather was fair, which was a luck for our prayer.
