By now you should recognize this hotel view. It's a beautiful, sunny day in Beirut. The snow covered mountains make a stark backdrop to the city. The traffic is as bad as ever and the sound of car horns fills the air. Today, was a good arrival day. No one has closed off the streets and there is a cautiously optimistic outlook today. My taxi driver showed me the damage on the airport road from where the tires were burned last week. Then we drove by the Arab University and he showed me the burnt out vehicles and the TV station where the sniper shot four people dead. We also passed new security checkpoints that were not here a few months ago. By now you should recognize this hotel view. It's a beautiful, sunny day in Beirut.
