                             KAZDOURA TO TRIPOLI
                             ******************
                                 
                                 Episode 1
                                 =========      
 
 
 Tripoli is considered to be Lebanon's second capital. It is the second biggest
 city after Beirut. It is located on the coast 80 kilometers (about 50 miles) north
 of Beirut and about 30 kilometers south of the Lebanese north boarder with Syria.
 
 When you are coming to Tripoli from Beirut you first encounter with the city is
 when you reach "Tarik El-Bahsas". This road leads you to the heart of Tripoli
 which is "Sahet Al-Tal". (Now tehy have also built a highway which you can
 use to bypass El-Bahsas and reach El-Mina directly). When you reach Al-Tal, the 
 first thing that attracts you attention is the old "Sa@a" which is a high tower
 in the middle of Al-Tal which used to have a clock at the top, now it is only
 the tower that is there.
  Next to the "Sa@a" is the "Minshiyyeh" which is a small
 park in which the old people gather to sit between the trees, the sun and some
 kids come with thier parents to see the small fish pond and take pictures next
 to it. In the "Minshiyyeh" you will surely notice a large tree called "Shajret
 Al-Tanabel" (the tree of the lazy people which was called so because all the lazy
 people in its neighbourhood would leave their work and come to take a nap under 
 it).It is a really old tree about 100 years old (from the days of the "Othmans").
 
  Next to the "Minshiyyeh" you can hear the shouting of taxi drivers who are 
 willing to take you anywhere you want (To inside Tripolim, to Beirut, Al-biqa@,
 Al-Koura, @akkar, Zghorta, Syria and all other places). You can also find some
 "@arabiyyta Khail" (Horse carriages) which can take you on a romantic ride from 
 Al-Tal to the Harbor in "Al-Mina" and back.
  
 If you go through Al-Tal you will reach the Historical "Aswak" which I hope to
 talk about in a next episode.

 Till the next episode, Salam ya Jama@a.
