Journaling reads:
It was hot and sunny that morning the day we visited Baalbek -
the ancient World Heritage site in Lebanon.
But then as soon as we arrived, it rained.
We were totally unprepared for the coldness and the rain made it hard to take photos,
but we decided to brave the weather. And we weren't disappointed in the least.

These 20m. tall granite Roman columns have been standing
through wars and earthquakes since the first century B.C.
The sheer size of them is intimidating enough.
However, the most astonishing thing about the whole Roman temple ruins is
the determination and engineering ingenuity of those ancient builders.

It was such a memorable and humbling experience for all,
especially for Neill and Michael who looked just like tiny ants
comparing to the gigantic Roman pillars!
