Early Summer in Beirut: White, Chilli’s and Sporting
Not much new to report – planning on bunking down tomorrow for the elections – have been to the store to pick up the staples: beer, chips, snacks, diet Pepsi, cheese and crackers. Hopefully it will be a high-uneventful day.
I wanted to share these: The first is from the nightclub White, the second from Chilli’s Restaurant in Achrafiyeh, and the third are from the Sea Club Sporting (they call it a beach club but there’s no beach so I refuse to honor that title, even though it’s an awesome place.
First, White – didn’t expect to be back so soon but I had a great night out there and managed to get some reasonable pictures with the phone.
Next, a frightening and bizzarre experience at Chilli’s Restaurant in Achrafiyeh, which might as well have been somewhere in the Mid West or Boston or something. A truly strange experience to walk out of Beirut and into Chilli’s!
Finally, the wonderful club Sporting – I took a 360-Degree set of shots from where we (Me, Catherine and Nick) were sitting – you can see Rouche, the Sea, South Beirut, and the Ferris Wheel at the Amusement Park.
I also had lunch at the restaurant at the Club, which sits above the main pool areas – we were sitting to the far right:
That’s all for now – Hope all is well with everyone

Well, if you notice the sign at the entrance reads, Sporting Club Swimming Center.. Not Beach since there really is no beach in sight!
Glad you enjoyed the Sporting!
